Israel's brother John on the bench for the Tahs

Is he any good? I presume he didn't have much of an impact in league?

@Duluth said in Waratahs vs Sunwolves:

So Sunwolves started in Singapore, next stop Tokyo, then Hamilton, Albany, back to Tokyo, onto Singapore and now off to Aus for 2 more games, a bye, then back to back games in Tokyo before heading back to Aus to face the Reds and Brumbies, then on to SA....nice scehduling. :man_facepalming:

@taniwharugby And they're playing in Newcastle which is a couple of hours up the coast from Sydney. Part of the Tahs' plan to take games out of the city while the stadium is rebuilt.

Banana skin game for the Tahs - they've not strung together 2 good performances, and no Foley or AAC.

Duluth

Good, a Sunwolves try. It was looking one sided for the first 15mins

NTA

I like this kiwi ref - doesn't say much but what he says it worth listening to.

Duluth

Great offload from Tui. Another Sunwolves try

Tahs relaxed after a good start. This might be an awkward game now

Sunwolves 17-12

Dice

This Mason kid is terrible.

NTA

That ground looks fucking awful

Duluth

Karmichael looked slow there

NTA

Fuck that guy can kick

Yeah what is it, one miss this season?

NTA

@Machpants zero. Kicked everything this year

Yeetyaah

Holy fuck Parker has a boot on him.

NTA

FFS can we please just run straight and pass short?

@NTA he missed one last week, I'm sure? Well not sure but I thought he did

NTA

@Machpants they keep saying he's 100% this year. Plus 7 or 8 to finish last year.

NTA

This is shaping to be the Waratahs 2019: can't string together two good performances

SammyC

Dan Pryor is a good player
