Re: Waratahs v Rebels
This is how far Oz rugby has fallen.
Previously, the 10s
Ella
Lynagh
Larkham
Cooper
Throw in Knox, Howard, Kafer, Flatley, Giteau, Foley, Beale.
Lesser extent - Toomua, Barnes, Lilo etc
Now, Gordon, Donaldson, Lynagh, Lolesio, Edmed.
It's such a drop.

Re: Waratahs v Rebels
The question is, how does a player like Gordon make it to test level with shit kicking? I've watched junior 10s comfortably have the ball on a string at 50m+ distance.
I think they've picked him on his running game and he probably outgunned his opponents through sheer strength and power.

Re: Waratahs v Rebels
You can of course improve. Cooper become a much better player with experience. Cooper is a natural 10 and he improved but he had the essential skills already. I think Gordon's inaccuracies comes from the fact he's at his limit distance wise. It's not a good weakness to have as a 10. Cooper early in...

Re: Waratahs v Rebels
Game full of errors. I expected Tahs to be better. Only highlight was Gordon's try saving tackle. I have seen him make so many try saving tackles. He's one of the best tackling flyhalves I've ever seen. If his kicking was better he'd be a world class flyhalf. Yes. His defence is impressive, his kic...
