@nta What is the injury status of Cridge? I did read something about a possible fracture.

The commentator on Friday night reported that Cridge "heard a crack" when he went down, but no more info than "nursing an ankle injury" since. He's not available this weekend.
And that means our scrum isn't going to be anywhere near as good.

I didn’t notice Harrison is covering halfback
The Waratahs have thrown their support behind Will Harrison to slot into scrumhalf as they prepare for Saturday's clash against the Brumbies at GIO Stadium.
-
@duluth "... IF Gordon has to come off for some reason" being the missing part of that headline, of course.
The guys sitting on the Tahs bench for 9 will not get a lot of minutes this year unless we're thrashing someone. Which is a shame in a way because Jack Grant has quick delivery and is quick to rucks.
-
Late changes to Tahs - Turner out, Funa to ring, Roberts onto a 6-2 bench.
-
Weather is shit. Rubbish penalty against the Tahs scrum called from the AR
-
Nice exit kick Donaldson.
Carrying on from where he left off last game.
-
Brumbies already going the niggle with Swain pulling players through the back of the Tahs ruck.
Their ball speed is good and that try was deserved.

Harrison on the bench, but he's also the reserve half, so ....

Try blown at 04:50
Kick taken at 06:19Why do we bother with the pretense of keeping time for these things?
-
Swain being a fuckhead again at the restart
-
How does this clown of a ref not see Slipper's arse pointing at him?

Berry doesn't have the greatest grasp of scrums.
-
I'm about 4 minutes behind, but Alaalatoa tried and offload and the chasing Brumbies player knocked it on. WTF?
-
Brumbies get a sniff of momentum and score another try. Tahs aren't going to do this scoring in 3s.
Donaldson pissed away the best break we have in the game of course.
-
Soft
-
Wright has the brain of a pea.
Which is to say: leaguie.

We left Swain tear our maul to pieces which caused the turnover.
-
Ball security at ruck is terrible for the Tahs.
-
This is a hard watch.

Fucking shit call by the AR on Donaldson. Didn't change his line an inch - Leaguiebrain pushes him in the back and fakes offence.
-
Brumbies win a turnover on their line after being offside at the 3 previous rucks. Yay officiating.
-
Blue 6 gets penalised for trying to catch the ball while White 14 flops on the ground in soccer-style anguish
-
Nice try. Will Harris has improved out of sight this year.
-
I'll take a bonus point there. Brumbies were near full strength and should have rolled us by more once the rain stopped.

Improved significantly in the second half because the Tahs decided to join in the "rugby" thing.
Their try to Bell was Brumbies-like - march upfield on the back of penalties then phase play to score once you isolate some forwards.
The try to Harris was a cracker. I thought it was very Kiwi-like in that it showed good support lines and some patience, striking from halfway.
Discipline stil needs work.
