John Eales, in The Sydney Morning Herald, looks at the game's losses on and off the field in recent times.
"A cursory scan of the crowd at David Brockhoff's memorial service at St Andrew's College, Sydney University, on Friday revealed why the Waratahs were always going to struggle against the Blues.
"Berrick Barnes, Al Baxter, Daniel Halangahu, Wycliff Palu, Dan Vickermann, et al. A full list of this casualty ward would represent a handy Super Rugby team.
"Watching their makeshift team hold their own later, however, demonstrated why the Waratahs have been Australia's most consistent team for most of the last decade – they play on the potent combination of guts and pride."
