Phil Waugh and Chris Hickey say Waratahs plan to play attacking rugby

By Darren Walton
March 07, 2010

New South Wales Waratahs have pleaded with their dwindling fan base to keep the faith after the Super 14's ugly ducklings opened their 2010 home campaign in typically dour fashion.

Promising to win back support with a return to the glory days and nights of running rugby at the Sydney Football Stadium, the Waratahs instead squeezed out a lacklustre 25-21 victory over the seething Sharks on Saturday night.

After enduring more jeers from the 20,651 uninspired fans who sat through their side's first home game of the season, NSW coach Chris Hickey and captain Phil Waugh both defended NSW's all-too-familiar safety-first tactics.

Hickey said victory, however grimly it may have been achieved, was paramount after the Tahs' one-from-three start to the season, while Waugh insisted his troops were ever mindful of their responsibility to deliver entertaining rugby to their loyal supporters.

The article continues, but the bit in bold says it all. While I agree that winning is important, this is what he said last year. The Tahs played ugly and missed the finals. Says it all really.
