Waratahs player ratings vs Brumbies | Super Rugby Pacific

The first Australian instalment of Super Rugby Pacific 2023 saw the Waratah’s host the Brumbies at Allianz Stadium, Sydney.

The first Australian instalment of Super Rugby Pacific 2023 saw the Waratahs host the Brumbies at Allianz Stadium, Sydney. The Waratahs, who have been touted to be a resurgent force in 2023, were outthought and outplayed by the Brumbies who took the game 31-25.

The Waratahs failed to fire at set piece and thus didn’t find their rhythm and tempo in attack, however did enough to show if they can get their set piece to click they can be the side many have tipped them to be in 2023.

Yet, that may be a problem compounded by yet another injury to outstanding loose head prop Angus Bell who looked primed for a man-of-the-match performance before having to leave the field.

This is how the Waratahs rated.

 

  1. Ben Donaldson – 6/10

Managed his role well and kept the Brumbies pinned in their own half with some accurate kicking. Doesn’t look out of place.

 

  1. Mark Nawaqanitawase – 6

Looked dangerous and looked for work however was guilty at times of perhaps over playing his hand.

 

  1. Izaia Perese – 5.5

Like Foketi struggled to find his way into the match. However, what is positive is that he is back after a long injury lay off.

 

  1. Lalakai Foketi – 6

He was solid but fell victim to the lack of descent possession in attack. Solid in defence and expect him to improve over the next several weeks.

  1. Max Jorgensen – 8

I thought he was superb in a losing side. Whilst he does not have blistering pace, he does possess balance, strength, vision and a fair set of heels that saw him score two wonderful tries.

 

  1. Tane Edmed – 5

Didn’t happen for him tonight. Got found out in defence and was guilty of playing a little too laterally in attack. Has better rugby in him.

 

  1. Jake Gordon – 6.5

A fair effort however probably couldn’t get his side playing more fluently due to the scrappy possession he received from the set piece. To his credit he scored a wonderful try to keep his side in the hunt.

 

  1. Angus Bell – 8

Was an absolute brut be it in the carry, defensive line or set piece. This coupled with a silky set of hands reminded us what potential this man has however had to leave the field due to what appears to be yet another injury. Frustrating for all concerned.

  1. Dave Poreki – 6

Credit for courage for his defensive efforts against a rampaging Rob Valentini however his tackling technique was questionable. Generally, he appeared to be dusting off the cobwebs but had a fair dig.

 

  1. Archer Holz – 5

There has been plenty of praise for this young prop however tonight he was rebranded from ‘promising’ to ‘exposed’. The Waratahs struggled to launch their attack off the scrum as it was under so much pressure through the tight head side. Plenty of work to do.

 

  1. Jed Holloway – 6

Put in a clunky performance. He ran to high at times, passed poorly and generally failed to impose himself on the game that saw him break into the Wallabies in 2022. Has much butter rugby in him.

 

  1. Taleni Seu – 5.5

Is a massive human however he was simply too high in contact on both sides of the ball. If the Tah’s want to get the best out of his frame, he will need to adjust or he is a bit of a passenger.

 

  1. Lachlan Swinton – 6

A solid return after a long lay off with injury and was enthused to see he didn’t give away any penalties. Expect him to build off this performance.

 

  1. Michael Hooper – 7

Exhaustive performance as expected. What pleased was how he keeps appearing when he side need him most, be it as a support runner, defender and ball carrier.

 

  1. Charlie Gamble – 7

Impressive effort however was guilty of undoing his good work with an unforced error or two. Not convinced 8 is his best position and perhaps the Waratahs would have been better served by starting Will Harris or Langi.

 

Replacements:

  1. Mahe Vailanu – 6.5 – Brought some impact and some genuine gain line punch when he came on. Looks like a promising prospect.
  2. Tom Lambert – 6.5 – Played more minutes than expected and despite struggling in the set piece showed he has plenty to offer around the park.
  3. Te Tera Faulkner – 6.5 – brought some stability to the set piece but also showed some silky skills at first receiver and also in a number of supporting runs. Ageing well.
  4. Hugh Sinclair – 5.5 – Brought some energy when he came on, as required.
  5. Langi Gleeson – 6 – A fair effort however is probably better suited to the physicality of the opening stages of the match. Didn’t quite find his way into the match.
  6. Will Harris – 6.5 – Found meters in the wider channels and brought some tempo to the match.
  7. Harrison Goddard – N/A
  8. Nemani Nadolo – 5.5 – Had several promising touches and looks suited to the impact role off the bench.

Simon Easterby quizzed on Ireland future ahead of Wales

In the early months of 2025, I made a decision that would haunt me for weeks—a decision born out of greed and the allure of quick wealth. I invested 95,000 Bitcoin into an online platform that promised exponential returns. The website looked legitimate, the testimonials seemed convincing, and the numbers they presented were irresistible. But as the days passed, the platform went silent. My investment vanished, and I realized I had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam. I was devastated, feeling like I had lost everything.Desperate for help, I began searching for solutions online. That’s when I discovered *Galaxy Ethical Tech*, a company renowned for its expertise in blockchain forensics and digital asset recovery. Known for their ethical approach and cutting-edge technology, they had a track record of helping people like me recover lost funds. With nothing left to lose, I reached out to them, hoping for a miracle.The team at Galaxy Ethical Tech, led by a brilliant blockchain analyst named *Dr. Elena Voss*, responded immediately. Dr. Voss listened to my story with empathy and assured me they would do everything in their power to help. She explained that while the process would be complex and time-consuming, their advanced tools and expertise gave them a fighting chance.

The recovery process began with a deep dive into the blockchain. Using sophisticated algorithms, Galaxy Ethical Tech traced the movement of my Bitcoin. They identified the wallets where my funds had been transferred and uncovered a network of interconnected accounts designed to obscure the trail. The scammers had used multiple layers of transactions to launder the funds, but Dr. Voss and her team were relentless.Weeks turned into months, and the team kept me updated every step of the way. They worked tirelessly, navigating the labyrinth of the blockchain and collaborating with international authorities to freeze suspicious accounts. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I received the news I had been praying for: Galaxy Ethical Tech had successfully recovered *85,000 Bitcoin* of my lost funds. The remaining amount had been irretrievably laundered, but recovering the majority felt like a miracle.When the funds were securely returned to my wallet, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. Dr. Voss and her team didn’t just recover my Bitcoin—they restored my faith in the possibility of justice in the digital world. They also provided me with invaluable advice on how to protect my assets in the future, emphasizing the importance of due diligence and secure storage solutions.Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just save me from financial ruin; they gave me a second chance. Their commitment to ethical practices, combined with their unparalleled expertise, made them true heroes in my eyes. From that day forward, I became an advocate for their work, sharing my story as a cautionary tale and a testament to the power of technology used for good.

One rule for Europe's copycats, another for the Springboks

From Helpless to Hopeful: My Crypto Experience"Hack Savvy Tech


I initially started trading with Pips Global because of the variety of trading accounts they offered, including their Funded Next accounts. These accounts seemed like an appealing opportunity, as they gave traders the chance to trade with a larger balance after successfully passing a challenge. For someone like me who was looking to scale up my trading without having to risk a significant amount of my own capital, it seemed like the perfect option. At first, I started with their Micro account, which had high leverage, fast market execution, and tight variable spreads. All these features seemed to align well with my trading goals, and I felt confident moving forward.However, things took a turn for the worse as I continued trading. I ended up losing a significant amount, around 30,000 AUD, due to what I now believe was a scam. The trades I placed weren’t executing properly, and there were discrepancies with the spreads and market conditions. I tried to reach out to Pips Global’s customer support, but I wasn’t receiving the kind of help I expected. It became increasingly clear that the platform wasn’t as reliable as I had originally thought, and I felt completely stuck. In my search for a solution, I came across Hack Savvy Tech, a service that specializes in helping people recover lost funds from fraudulent brokers. Their team was highly professional, thorough, and patient. They guided me step by step through the entire recovery process, keeping me informed at every stage. They also provided me with solid advice on how to avoid falling into similar traps in the future. Thanks to Hack Savvy Tech, I was able to recover my 30,000 AUD, which was an incredible relief after such a stressful experience.If you’re considering trading with Pips Global, I strongly recommend doing thorough research before committing. While their Funded Next accounts and other account options might seem enticing, my personal experience with them was ultimately disappointing. I would advise anyone looking to trade with them to be cautious, especially if things don’t seem to be going as expected.If you find yourself in a situation similar to mine, I can’t recommend Hack Savvy Tech enough. Their expertise in fund recovery was a lifesaver, and they were instrumental in helping me get my money back. Thanks to their support, I’m now back on track, and I’ve learned a valuable lesson about being more cautious with online trading platforms
