Waratahs vs Rebels

NTA

Inclusion of Hardwick is good for the Rebs - Wilkin has been good at the breakdown but Hardwick is a beast.

Continued selection of Powell is highly confusing. The best they've looked all year was when they had Sorovi-Gordon-To'omua running things late in the game last week.

There is some talent there coming through from league crossovers and the local system, but the selections are confusing.

NTA

As for the Tahs - same as last week bar the injuries. Porecki back, Cridge back.

The injury to Williams puts Langi Gleeson on the bench, which is interesting as he's more of a flanker than lock. Guess they're expecting Holloway and Cridge to play a whole game again.

@Daffy-Jaffy you've got Grant as captain, but believe it is Holloway

Duluth

Is Gamble eligible for the wallabies?

I think he might be under the residency rules.

Waratahs from 2020 and playing Subbies in 2018. One year at Premier club in between.

The SCG looks like an absolutely shit place to watch and play rugby

NTA

Holloway is absolutely manhandling people

NTA

Tizzano is a bit of a Pocock - great at the ruck but not much for anything else

NTA

Not much in that tackle but still a lift. Yellow the right result

NTA

Only Newsome could almost fuck that up from there

Stargazer

@duluth Yep, start counting from April 2018 at the latest, add 3 years (April 2021). So 3-year residency rule applies.

@stargazer not surprising he won the Kentwell medal the year he played Subbies (best player in Division 1)

I think he’s similar to Tom Christie, always high on the tackle stats but a limited player. Maybe he’ll develop

NTA

@duluth rumours of an attitude problem as well.

NTA

Tahs failing to find touch on two occasions now.

NTA

Win is a win. Flush the shitter and move on

@nta Came across that way in a few interviews/articles I read about him.
