Waratahs 2023
- Thread starter RugbyReg
- Start date
Easts were pretty disappointing against Eastwood but Mark Nawaqanitawase was outstanding for the Woodies. Had a lot of involvements and almost all of them involved beating defenders and offloading to players in better positions.
He has come along so far this season and has a really great skillset.

He was really angry at full time (showing that this game mattered to him). I imagine that he and Matt Lucas will start this weekend against Eastwood in their knockout semi.

Still shaking my head at the turnaround. Easts pack had a lot of trouble in the set pieces. Their #4 (and captain, I think), is tiny for a lock.

This seems a good signing.
The NSW Waratahs are pleased to announce the signing of loosehead prop Tom Lambert on a two-year deal, bolstering the team’s front-row stocks ahead of their 2023 Super Rugby Pacific campaign.
A product of the NSW pathways, born in Sydney and schooled at Trinity Grammar School, Lambert represented Australian Schools and was part of the Waratahs Academy before heading overseas to Scotland in 2020.
Lambert represented Scotland’s under-20s side during the 2020 Six Nations and signed with Glasgow Warriors on an academy contract before graduating to the main team in 2021

This is an astute pick up. Bell, Holz, Lambert and HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) when back fit will be a good set of Props. Hopefully Latus lobotomy went well and his behaviour is under control and the boys are looking good.

Babies underneath would be Brown and Taukipulu? Though pretty sure they are all realllllly young!

Think we'll definetely see Taukipulu at some stage though the season. He'll benefit from playing good minutes in the Shute Shield with Randwick.
Nothing better (especially for the tight 5) than game time against physical opponents.

Like this a lot. Hope Harry Wilson and Joey Walton can get some good time with Foketi while Perese is injured. Walton has been playing well for Bay of Plenty. Bet Gordon wish he was in the backline for their prelim though.
Teddy has been good for Easts with Bowen this year for two young blokes. How long is Jake Gordon signed for? Could imagine he may test the market post RWC which you couldn't blame him for.

And they did. And lost.

What's worse, Reg? That David Wilson's sons have signed for the Tahs, or that Harry called NSW his "home state"?
This will be hopefully be the silver lining when we can't retain all three of Harrison, Edmed and Donaldson.
Jack Bowen is excellent.

They came good against Gordon in the last Shute Shield Grand Final, should have won, but didn't. Hmmmm.
