Summary

The Waratahs needed this win. The Highlanders, and the boys, needed this one more. None of us needed the TMO reviewing anything during the game and yet they couldn't stop. Caleb Tangitau is back and immediately makes defenders wish he had taken another week off. There's a scrum half we formally recommend to be drawn and quartered, tries that made us stop mid-conversation and a bunker review that made us start several sentences we couldn't add on a more family friendly podcast. Charlie Gamble does flanker things looking like Magnum PI, Tocco still cant work the stream part of this podcast and Jones threatens to burn it all down. It was great. The beer was cold, the rugby was chaotic and the Waratahs 13th straight loss in New Zealand felt so sweet with the boys back in town. Welcome to the wrong side of the ruck. Come grab a seat on the couch, we think you'll like it here.
