US
3. TPN
2. Dennis
1. Barnes - was surprisingly abrasive last night
All tahs were good except for some of the later replacements. Defence was exceptional, even when the reds opened us up ona few occaisons

THEM
3. Genia
2. Diggers
1. Geez I don't know, Cooper I guess

Front row -3
Second row -2
Houston -1 (I see that Houston has been eating all the pies now that turinui has headed os).

Reds were smashed from 1 to 8, they only came close to parity in the line outs. I am shocked Simmons has given some points above - maybe people feel sorry for him given he was one of the few reds on the field for the whole game. At about the 15 min mark, the reds were on the tahs 22. They went the blindside and Simmons was the only pig in close proximity. Instead of heading over to secure their ball he insteads heads the other way so that he could push barnes over as he was returning onside. Soft and silly stuff and allowed the tahs to turn the ball over, clear it downfield and score soon after.

Special mention to Waratahs defence coach John Muggleton who has really put some starch into the Tahs tackling this year!!
2.

I didn't realise he was defence coach! I reckon the Tahs will go the whole season with only a handful of tries being scored against them.

Tahs, difficult, thought Burgess set them up for the win in the first 20. 3 Burgess, 2 TPN (Obviously Hickey tried to keep him on for 60 for HIS fantasy team), 1 Baxter.

Reds, more difficult, points for trying, 3 Cooper (not that he was etter than Barnes), 2 Simmons, 1 Ioane.

Yep, cos they have been tested big time so far.
The Rabble, who even the optimists are hoping to win maybe 3 games all year.
