Now we await the tahs pillage of the Rebels. Can`t the tahs grow and nurture their own talent? Weak as PI$$ 😡

The Wrap: Spare a thought for injured players as Super Rugby’s two rutting rhinos deliver an epic final preview

Agree, as i said Thorn was 3 years too late bringing in overseas hard heads. Let`s Kiss was on the ball ASAP. Anyway Nonggorr was always going to be a Red.He was Southport first XV captain and a huge man at 17 already. He was always going to be in the Reds first team no question. Smith was not ready when Thorn threw him in, but is he finally coming good under a great coach.

The squad was not created by Thorn. Most were in the system and pathways already. Let`s Kiss brought in to two test props. Thorn should have done the same earlier to help Tupou as Thorn played him 80 mins every game and destroyed his body. He also stuffed around Campbell and Petaia at 15.
He also white anted Lukhan and let Kerevi Simmons Stewart Mafi Rodda BPA Zander Hoopert Hockings Scott Young and Lucas walk out the door. Kiss is a better man manager selector strategist and coach by a long way. Thorn can go back to his homeland NZ and become a head coach.

. “I don’t know another fullback in the comp who doesn’t score from there.”

I don’t know either, as i haven’t seen another fullback do it this year.

Nearly perfect. id add Leota Pone and Nasser too.

Lets Kiss is sure getting the best out of players. Thorn couldn’t quite do it consistently with his group.
A big failure of Thorn was playing Tupou too long and busted him and others.
Petaia never kicked on under Thorn and now is just a wasted talent.
Thorn also played him out of position when clearly their best fullback is Jock Campbell
Kiss is a massive step up from Thorn.

Yes, It`s at Tah central, they are a 14 point better team at home.

Super Rugby Rd 12 teams: JOC and Tate return, Tahs let Pone off leash, Crusaders welcome back All Blacks duo

If Force win and Brumbies win. Tahs are last. 😱

“it’s a brand new back-row with Lachie Swinton, Charlie Gamble and Jed Holloway packing down together.”

That`s a very physical backrow the Waratahs have. I`m just concerned that it looks a tad slow. Holloway at 8 is a worry. He played number 8 six years ago and was too slow then. 6.5 Gamble is not a link man has no passing skills and is slow around the ground and Swinton is a 5.5. Brumbies by 10.

Lachie Swinton, as he has the head for it.

Believe the first year is $550, second is $600. A nice bonus in there too, from what I’m told. A lot of money for someone who hasn’t played a Test (it’s obvious he’s a good talent).
Take it up with Christy.

Tahs' season hanging by a thread after Chiefs go whack to post bonus point win

Max Jorgensen has to be selected in Joes 23.It’s in his RA contract.$1.15 million over two years.RA cant afford for their big investment to be running around for Randwick.

“First 40:00 was best forty minutes of Waratah rugby in years. ”
Only problem for the Waratahs is that rugby is played over 80:00.

Powerful Tah pack. Should tear the Chiefs apart.

Thanks anyway. We agree to disagree

I think the kids went better than the incumbents v the Rebels.

“ANALYSIS: Good teams win when they’re not at their best – but the Brumbies have a lot to fix to challenge in Super Rugby”

When have the Brumbies been a Good team?. Probably 2004.Need to win the big comps to be considered good. 😱

You miss counted. Ikitau, Skelton, Tupou, QC, Samu, Kellaway, AAA is 7.

UPDATE: Clearest sign that Wallabies captain Skelton is OUT of Fiji game, coach names back up skipper

Does anyone know if Jorgenson is fit yet? If so, Why isn’t Eddie using him?
