Waratahs v Blues

@hooroo which team
Good to see Wright getting a start!
does this word not mean what I think it means?
There are still defections this week which means Northland and Maori All Black prop Ross Wright gets his first start at loosehead prop after seven games off the bench.
-
Jeez, what's happened to Pauliasi Manu? I'd still pick him at LH ahead of Tim Perry in the ABs though.
Some decent players on that injured list. I was a bit of a fan of Nanai a year or two ago, but he's dropped away.
Ruining the NZ teams winning streak the final straw for the clowns involved with the Blues?
-
Moulds preferred ahead of Apisai again? Which is the correct call, but why wasn't that the case a week ago?
Taramai preferred ahead of Pryor? That seems strange given the form this year. The extra cover that Taramai provides is irrelevant because there's enough 6/8 cover with the starters.
Leger/Ioane wrong way around. Again.
They have run out of patience with Gatland?
Or is the injury list wrong again?
Good to see Wright get a start. He has earned it.
Pleased to see Clarke out there finally. The back three is ok given the resources. I like Duffie at fullback.. he's finding form and the more he touches the ball the better. Two very inexperienced wingers though.
-
Clark vs Clarke out on the wing should be fun.
Waratahs:
Israel Folau, Cam Clark, Lalakai Foketi, Kurtley Beale, Taqele Naiyaravoro, Bernard Foley, Jake Gordon; Michael Wells, Michael Hooper, Will Miller, Rob Simmons, Ned Hanigan, Sekope Kepu, Damien Fitzpatrick, Tom Robertson.
Reserves: Hugh Roach, Harry Johnson-Holmes, Paddy Ryan, Tom Staniforth, Jed Holloway, Nick Phipps, Curtis Rona, Bryce Hegarty.

On the bright side, Papali'i is starting ahead of both of them.

@mimic so the sub will be made at 58 mins regardless of how well he is playing...

I wince every time I see the title of this thread (actually I wince whenever I here about the Blues).

We should start #metoo campaign. Supporting the Blues is certainly emotional abuse and a support group might be needed. We could have celebrities speaking out in our favour and JK as patron. I am reaching Australian cricket levels of "win at all costs".

don't worry guys, they will win this weekend and all will be well with the Blues...until next week.

For some reason I don't share your confidence - I think they call it experience.

THIS IS OUR WEEK
Weirdly, I have a good feeling about this game. We have done some good damage to the Tahs in the past ... hopefully that continues this week.
Also, this feels like an abusive relationship.

NRL officials asked for an investigation into the surface at Brookvale aka Knee Surgeon's Paradise.
Hooper will play a good game as its in his home territory but the rest of them will wonder what kind of poorly-lit, 70s horror film they just walked into.
It really is a shit hole.
