Reds vs Waratahs preview:

If you are a true rugby lover you would be happy to see the game returning to another country. This time the Australians are returning to field and a lot of supporters would happy to see it happen.

The Reds vs the Waratahs: I don’t believe this game is going to be that exciting due to the long break that the players had. I think while they’re going to be fit enough to entertain us with running rugby they’re going to be very rusty and I expect a lot of handling errors. Hopefully the ref doesn’t play as big a part in this game and all the Australian games like they did in the New- Zealand competition.

Now to the game. I think this is an interesting match-up to begin with. They are both teams that are in a rebuilding phase after the World Cup. Both the teams have a lot of youngsters in their ranks and also some veterans. It will be interesting to see which one of the teams have a better recruiting system because there isn’t a lot of recognizable players in either team and it’s going to come down to the team that has the better youngsters or who plays better as a team.
