Before international matches during his time with Wales, Sir Graham Henry would often look up at the sky overhead. Sometimes, he was beseeching help from above. More often, he was looking for clues about the conditions in which the game would be played.

After their worst ever start to a Super Rugby season, including a 24-10 loss to the Rebels, Waratahs captain Rob Simmons admits his team are in a hole.
The Waratahs will do well to fill Scully Park in Tamworth next month.
Two rounds in and both the Rebels and Waratahs are already struggling for confidence as the two teams clash in a vital game in Super Rugby Round 3 at AAMI Park. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the match from 7:15pm (AEDT).
NSW Waratahs coach Rob Penney admits it’s mission critical for his winless side this week, but believes there’s hope and some reasonably quick fixes to their problems.
The NSW Waratahs (12) were out-muscled and out-scored five tries to two in wet conditions at Newcastle by an Auckland Blues side (32) that struggles to win away matches.
Judging by the crowds at many of the games, there are still plenty of people who don’t know that Super Rugby is back on. But back on it is and we’re two rounds down already.
The NSW Waratahs will look to get their season on the right track with a home win over the Auckland Blues as the home side welcome the Kiwis to Newcastle in Super Rugby’s Round 2.
They blew it at Brookvale and had a nightmare at Newcastle, so there’s no more room for slip-ups if the Waratahs want to be taken seriously this season.
Halfback Jake Gordon says NSW Waratahs senior players need to support their promising youngsters as they chase an anxiety-relieving Super Rugby win on Friday against the equally desperate Melbourne Rebels.

At the end of each World Cup cycle, everything is thrown back into the melting pot. The certainties of the previous four years dissolve as quickly as newspaper in rain, and minds turn to what the horizon may look like in 2023.
As far as opening rounds go, the 25th Round 1 served up by Super Rugby ticked off all the major food groups: some great expansive tries, some well-worked brute-strength tries, some outstanding breakdown work, and no major refereeing issues.
“He reminds me,” Kurtley Beale told writers before the Waratahs played the Crusaders in their opening match of the 2020 Super Rugby season, “a bit of Izzy”.
The Waratahs get their Super Rugby season underway with a visit to the three-time reigning champion Crusaders. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the game from 5:05pm (AEDT).
I know, I know, we’ve all been going on a bit about how early Super Rugby is starting this year.
NSW Waratahs coach Rob Penney concedes his side will need things to go their way and play “bloody well,” if he’s to enjoy a first-up Super Rugby win against a side coached by his former assistant.
Ready or not, here we come. Super Rugby Round 1 is now just days away and after the last set of trial games, coaches will either be entering a short period of contentment about what their pre-season programs have delivered, or starting the panic that things haven’t quite gone to plan.
With a host of players leaving the club at the end of 2019, the Waratahs head into this Super Rugby season as (very) unknown quantity.
