Waratahs go for youth in replacing Jamie Roberts with the world's slowest professional winger old enough to play Golden Oldies...
He's also someone I wouldn't want to tackle.
Have you tackled props and locks before..?

Not locks and props that are 1.97m and 137kg

Ridiculous penalty. Nic White never touched the ball. So much for lifting motion.

Loved watching SBW play both codes. Incredible footballer
But I wouldn't care if I never heard him speak again

Brumbies are going to trouble the Blues next week
I'll wait until I see the blues play before agreeing - Ponies have some injuries now

Great to see Tamati Tua firstly nailing a starting place in the Brumbies playing XV and putting in a solid shift , some nice little handling touches that I have not seen in his game before.
Can only get better at this level with game time and could turn into a good combo with Len Ikitau
Thought Rob Valentino especially along with Pete Samu were excellent.
Some good young wingers coming through in Aussie Rugby . -
That's harsh - can't believe they rubbed that out. Makes a mockery of the game when there's no conclusive proof he was out, but James Lowe can stand a metre out and be awarded a try.

That did not look clear and obvious to me.

Enjoyed that game as well, I thought Brumbies went pretty ok, even if they did help me to be 0-2 in my picks FFS!! As I said good game for first up, enjoyed opening night of super immensly.
Only little grumbles/things I noticed were:
I did actually look at game clock on TV a few scrums as I thought Berry was having a little trouble getting them to form, the 3 I timed were 40, 46 and 50 seconds, while still ok, maybe he will be told to move them along a bit quicker. And the only other thing that got me was Morgan Turunui in the commentary, Jorgenson was a Superstar, and when the Brumbies left winger scord it was another superstar try, a little over the top. But that is all minor and just trying to expect top stuff every game! -

Yes, he looks like he has spent a little bit more time in the gym.
Defense may be the area of focus for him this week. I saw him drop off a couple of tackles (one led to a Waratah try) but, overall, a good first up effort for the Ponies. -
