Waratahs talk the talk

A GOOD old-fashioned dressing down from senior players has left the NSW Waratahs under no illusions about what’s at stake in tomorrow’s suddendeath Super Rugby quarterfinal against the Highlanders in Sydney.

Coach Daryl Gibson and his staff have had their hands full fixing all the problems from the abominable loss to the Brumbies last weekend but one job they haven’t had to do is read the riot act.

The players have already done that themselves in the wake of the defeat.

Waratahs captain Bernard Foley said the players did not need to be reminded that their efforts were not up to scratch.
