Guildford to start for Tahs v Reds
-
<p>Gill out for a month in Reds land. Massive loss for them in terms of defense. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Reds lineout probably better than ours, scrum might be as well because I don't think I've ever seen Paddy at LHP. Tahs should have too much class and experience through the backline BUT that relies on Beale and the rookie having good games.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Horne versus Kerevi at 13 should be interesting: broad sword versus battle hammer...</p> -
<p>If the tahs don't walk this questions should be asked. A Reds team full of not-quite or who-the fuck? players, with shit halves, coached by a coach with a proven losing record, should not pose a problem for a team with finals aspirations. </p>
-
<p>And that is the general consensus among the logical. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But even at their shittest, the Reds pulled off a couple of wins against us that should never have happened.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've got faith in Gibson - nearly as much as Cheika - and think he'll earn even more of my trust based on the manner of our game play.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also looking forward to Jed Holloway finally getting a run at his preferred position for the Tahs. Only 23, 195cm, 116kg and could be a long-term option as a genuine 8. Decent turn of pace as well. Been around for a couple of years but Palu going offshore has created this opportunity. Will have Dennis and Hooper for support in the back row, along with Mumm, Skelton, and TPN to shoulder a lot of the work up front.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One thing is for sure: we've got a shitload of ball-carrying in that pack.</p> -
<p>The Tahs are eminently capable of being brought down to the level of their opposition.</p>

<p>So is getting drunk and bashing old men. Mental illness might be a reason but it shouldn't be an excuse.</p> -

Watching replay now. Waratahs win the game with a combined total of 20 minutes of good play. <br><br>
Reds looked better at set piece. But I didn't like the scrum selections from Gibson anyway. <br><br>
Apparently Benn Robinson broke his nose so won't play this week against the Ponies. <br><br>
Not that it matters - neither of these teams will beat the Ponies based on last night.
