Holy crap, admittedly I don't follow the Waratahs much at all but there are so few names in that line up that I recognise, it's crazy.
most interesting for the 'tahs, only one double-barreled surname.

Taking a rest from getting soundly beaten?

Dammit. Only just now I discovered that the PS game is livestreamed!
Can't be bothered to see if the Landers have another link.

Full time: Highlanders 59 - 38 Waratahs
I've seen more buffering than rugby, and the commentating by BFA and Dickson was funny, but often not about the rugby, so not much info. I hope I can re-watch this game at a later time & see more of the game.
Good start for the Landers, but as we know, preseason game wins or losses don't really give a good indication of where a team is at.

H/T v Crusaders 14-7 to Crusaders. Pretty uneventful half Crusaders dominating possession and territory. Coleman and Parkinson strong for Highlanders. Crusaders backs look sharpe but Mataele is very dangerous for them.
