Waratahs vs Reds
-
Kurtley Beale, Israel Folau, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Karmichael Hunt, Curtis Rona, Bernard Foley, Jake Gordon, Jack Dempsey, Michael Hooper (c), Ned Hanigan, Rob Simmons, Jed Holloway, Sekope Kepu, Damien Fitzpatrick, Harry Johnson-Holmes
Reserves: Tatafu Polota-Nau, Rory O’Connor, Chris Talakai, Lachlan Swinton, Will Miller, Mitch Short, Mack Mason, Alex Newsome
Gibson will probably get criticised for all the changes in the backs, but I think the big names are in their best positions
I think Karmichael's best position is 12, Beale offers more from fullback and Folau can just concentrate on finishing and chasing cross kicks
-
Isaac Lucas, Chris Feauai-Sautia, Samu Kerevi (c), Duncan Paia’aua, Sefa Naivalu, Bryce Hegarty, Moses Sorovi, Scott Higginbotham, Liam Wright, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Harry Hockings, Izack Rodda, Taniela Tupou, Brandon Paenga-Amosa, JP Smith
Reserves: Alex Mafi, Harry Hoopert, Ruan Smith, Caleb Timu, Angus Scott-Young, Tate McDermott, Hamish Stewart, Jack Hardy
Hegarty moves to 10
Higginbotham gets a start
-
Finally Folau is moved to the wing and Beale is given the space and freedom he needs. Will be interesting to see if Two-Dads' experience at centre come overcome his age. Good thing he's not marking Petaia.
I'd say it's enough to win by +7 at home. Probably even more now that shitbucket Higgenbum is starting.

Harry Johnson-Homes is not the name of a loosehead prop
Harry Johnson-Holmes is the name of Randwick Two's starting 10 who is in to his 3rd year at a law firm he got hired by because his dad and the managing partner went to school together.
Still, it wouldn't be the Waratahs without at least 3 hyphens in the squad.

@mariner4life And he's a fucking ranga. FFS.

Geez this field is digging up badly.
-
Driving under the lineout jumper is a dick move
Field not fit for purpose
-
SCG ground is a shocker. Has been a problem at AFL games in the past too.
-
@ACT-Crusader the pitch square is holding up better than the outfield
-
Reds forwards marching through the tahs pack.
What was that free kick for?

Who the fuck knows? Consult the Jacksonometer and you'll never get the same answer twice

Because it doesn't exist?
Waratahs do enough to win by 11. Game ends with the Reds getting held up and denying them a bonus point the probably deserved.
Game not as high quality as last night's aussie game but still a decent game played in good spirit.
There is a pretty decent wallaby team running around if they could make a couple of bold selections.

Yes - open day is 14 April @hydro11 and first game there is THE GREATEST GAME EVER MAYYYYYYYYTE! 22 April - Tigers v Roosters
Tahs play Sharks, Jaguares, and Ponies there this year. The last of those games should provide the biggest crowd, but you never know.

They didn't deserve shit. Another magnificent victory against those inbreeding banana benders north of the Tweed.

Careful. You'll blow your elbow patch off
