Waratahs v Cheetahs, Round 11, 7 May 2016

[Braveheart81]

Fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

Holloway out with a dislocated shoulder.

TPN and Reece Robinson both in doubt with shoulder injuries.

 

[RugbyReg]

All from the captain's run? WTF was Hooper having them do?

Combative shoulder charges.

Apparently it made for great viewing but probably not the best idea the day before the game.

 

[RugbyReg]

So what now? Something like this?

1. Paddy Ryan
2. Hugh Roach
3. Tom Robertson
4. David Dennis
5. Will Skelton
6. Dean Mumm
7. Michael Hooper
8. Wycliff Palu
9. Nick Phipps
10. Bernard Foley
11. Rob Horne
12. Kurtley Beale
13. Israel Folau
14. Matt Carraro
15. Andrew Kellaway

Reserves:

16.
17. Jeremy Tilse
18. Angus Ta'avao
19. Sam Lousi
20.
21. Matt Lucas
22. David Horwitz
23.

who would be the new bench players?

 

[Braveheart81]

16. Latu, 20. Hanigan, 23. Guildford.

A bit worried now after picking the Tahs to beat the line!

Losing 3 players in a captain's run would be pretty much unheard of.

 

[Lindommer]

About time we saw what Hanigan can do. AND we need cover at hooker in case there's another season-ending injury to TPN, a squad needs at least three hookers capable of playing Super rugby.

Wingers? Well, TGC reckons they're like underwear the way the Tahs've gone through them the last few years.

 

[Braveheart81]

Looks like TPN and Robinson will both play.

Likely that Palu starts and Hanigan to the bench in place of Holloway although that hasn't been confirmed.

 

[Hawko]

Fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

Holloway out with a dislocated shoulder.

TPN and Reece Robinson both in doubt with shoulder injuries.

Dislocated shoulder is not a one week injury. I bet he's just about as thrilled as Kerevi was; this could seriously dent his Wallaby chances, to say nothing of our Super Rugby run home.

Fuckity fuck fuck fuck indeed!

No, it's not.

They said they managed to pop it straight back in so hopefully it is not season ending but you'd imagine it will be two weeks at the very least even if he hasn't done any structural damage.

When I heard it on the news they said Polota-Nau and "Robertson" had gone down and I immediately thought that scrum training had got a little too enthusiastic. So to hear that its Robinson is a relief of sorts. THP's are not easily replaced, wingers however....

Referee Nic Berry
AR1 Andrew Lees
AR2 Graham Cooper
TMO George Ayoub

All Australian refs. Surely no complains. Tahs by 50

 

[galumay]

Tah's really just have to keep winning now, this one should be within their reach, although recent history suggests otherwise. Its a good chance for them to work on impoving the accuracy that will be required in coming weeks if they hope to matcj it against the front running kiwis.

This Cheetahs team doesn't seem as good as those who have come before. They have the intent, but they don't seem to know when to go to all out attack and when to bring it tighter.

The Cheetahs have a new coach in Franco Smith who came like most of the newbies with Shimlas (Uni of Free State) who won the Varsity Cup last year. The Bulls & Sharks poach their experience players from last year. With the rugbyu machine like Grey College, they'll just spit out new players. I like the look of Paul Schoeman, their nr8. Thor (Duane Vermeulen) younger version.

It appears there are quite a few tahs who will be playing wounded, with a few tough games to follow I think our depth is going to be seriously tested

I reached for the like button because I agree 100% with the post, but how can I like tahs playing wounded with the Crusaders in a fortnight.

 

[boyo]

Was it WARvCHE a few years ago that Mumm did that famous "don't argue"?

 

[rod skellet]

Any score?
