In 2009, had the Waratahs scored just one more try, they would have made the Super 14 semi finals. Ironically, previous coach Ewen McKenzie was sacked for playing ugly rugby in 2007.

They are very aware of their position in the Sydney Rugby community and are highly adept at tokenism strategies to deflect any criticism.

From the Sydney Uni Rugby Juniors website “If you are registered with one of our feeder clubs (Canterbury or Petersham) and (wait for it) have been selected as a representative player for the State Championships you may represent Sydney University Juniors”.

Like you Spiro I can’t understand what Hickey/Weismantel are up to with the backs. It is just sooooo frustrating watching play in slow motion, getting hammered and turning the ball over. There was a time when would set a great platform and the backs would hit the ball on the charge – not any more. Burgess starts it all by running across field and predictably the inside runners get hammered. When he eventually passes to 10 the backs are also moving across field with him. Holmes has to start if only to keep the Blues guessing this weekend.
Like you I can’t help to feel that Waugh is at the heart of playing ugly. It is obvious that he does not trust the backs and would rather keep it in the forwards. There is something fundamentally wrong with the Tahs. Waugh has been a most wonderful player for the Tahs and Hickey’s Shute Shield record is excellent – somehow the combination of the two is just not working. In the interests of the Tahs they should both go and Weismantel with them.
The Tahs will lose ugly to the Blues this weekend.
Waratahs are in the top four, but can it last? (41)
