Rugby Australia posted a press release on Facebook saying that the Waratahs have signed Wallaby and contracted Super Rugby player Pone Fa'aumasili on a short term injury cover deal.
Meanwhile, the Force will continue to play with an NPC player, a hospital Cup prospect
and a 21 year old.
Do they even recognise how unbalanced it is?
Maybe we tried to sign Pone but he didn't want to come west. It's not always a conspiracy against us!
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
Well maybe not, but there are plenty of other contracted Super Rugby props in Oz who are not getting game time, were still using multiple players signed out of New Zealand wider training suads and have never signed a single injury cover with a player on a full contract.Especially in the season following a massive buyout by the governing body.I'm allowed to be salty about it.

The positive at least he is playing as he needs to be, but yes, it does smell a little.

I’m not 100% sure but to me these extensive injuries are down to a lack of a good 2nd tier comp . NZ don’t seem to have the same amount of top player injuries having a strong NPC comp …… we need that extra game time somehow…
