Henley 2022
The Aus 8's found wanting.
I watched the finals of HRR today.
Very tight racing in the mens 2x and the mens 4- the two eights looked unimpressive..
The Women sat still as the GB 8 rowed past them at half way and kept moving away, The AUS crew included the rated 4- so it was the top 8 AUS women taking on what the British commentators said was a new inexperienced combination.
The men's 8 chased the GB 8 all the way but were beaten convincingly. Lot of physicality in the AUS boat smashing the catches and chasing arses all the way.
The Aus team heads to Lucerne next week end for WC 3.
I will be on the spot and will post a daily summary.
