Spiro Zavos, writing on rugbyheaven.com.au, believes that the Waratahs could be in serious trouble if their backs don't start firing soon.
"The train carriage I was in coming back from the enthralling Waratahs-Crusaders contest at ANZ Stadium at Homebush Bay was quiet until a good old boy dressed in the Waratahs colours came in. "Cash in on the Waratahs demolition sale," he spruiked. "Waratahs caps for $5. They might win next week."
"No one took him up on his offer. On my way through Central Station, I saw him standing at the end of the platform rather forlornly and still apparently unsuccessfully trying to flog off his stock of caps.
"With the Waratahs losing back-to-back matches against the Brumbies and then the Crusaders, there is a sense among even their staunchest supporters that the dreaded Wara-wobblies (a strong start followed by an even stronger decline) might have set in rather earlier than usual this year. Compounding this pessimism is an almost universal acknowledgment that the Waratahs have not been playing the skilful and smart rugby you would expect from a team with the team of Wallabies and potential stars such as Kurtley Beale and Rob Horne."
