Hunt to start at outside-centre for Waratahs against Sunwolves

He's only played there five times at Super Rugby level but Karmichael Hunt will line up at No.13 for the Waratahs against the Sunwolves this weekend.

The Waratahs have confirmed Karmichael Hunt will start at outside-centre this weekend in place of Adam Ashley-Cooper, with Kurtley Beale also set to return to his preferred position of No.12 against the Sunwolves in Tokyo.

The fuck can you take a 1-week trip to Japan, followed with a bye, and bracket a player on the bench?

[Bones]

@NTA say what?

[Duluth]

@Bones I copied that from fox sports. Looks like they missed AAC/Cam Clarke bracket

AAC recovering from a head knock

[NTA]

Sorry @Bones jumped the gun on that one

If he's recovering from a head knock, leave him the fuck in Sydney and spend the plane ticket money on someone else.

[Stargazer]

The Tahs are struggling against the Sunwolves. who are leading 20 to 17 at half time.

[Duluth]

Sunwolves winning at HT 20-17

Defence is a bit like the Reds/Highlanders game

[Bones]

@Duluth I'm loving it, a bloody good game to watch. Sunwolves really taking it to the Tahs.

[Stargazer]

The Tahs are currently leading 31 - 23, thanks to a penalty try.

[Bones]

Sunwolves catching up, 31-30 now.

Man I'm gutted we lost Parker.

[Siam]

Defender lying down holding the ball at the drop kick ruck. Not blatant at all

[Steven Harris]

How was that not slowing the ball down,especially when you keep warning the player..?

[chimoaus]

Waratahs lucky to win that, a missed drop goal at the death by the Sunwolves. Lots of nice tries from both sides. Ball possession very poor from both sides. Dempsey at 8 for the Tahs impressed.

[NTA]

Fuck sakes the Tahs are shit. Either they're poorly coached or they're just fucking uncoachable.

If Chieka has any coaching smarts, he'll be playing probables vs possibles in camp and putting the Tahs in the possibles.
