THE Waratahs held a typically uncomfortable video review session on Monday to assess their bumbling defeat to the Blues last week, but halfback Nick Phipps said honesty is the best policy.
Players walked into Tahs headquarters in the morning to watch their error-prone performances before training in the afternoon to rectify their mistakes.
"It's a bit brutal, but it's good," Phipps said.
"It has got to be brutal. Even after a win we have quite brutal meetings in there, we're never going to rest on our laurels."
Tahs coach Michael Cheika leads the reviews and spares no feelings, Phipps said.
"Cheik is always big on being equal no matter who you are. He is happy to show one of my mistakes, then equally happy to show one of [captain] Dave Dennis's.
"One of the things in there is that we've got to improve, and one of the ways to do that is if we start chipping each other.
"If we're hard on each other then we can keep working.
"Cheik is good, he has a confronting style and though you guys [media] might see that, in there he likes mould his players, he likes to work with them, he's always having chats to different players in the corridors trying to find out what we can do, where we can go.
"We're all learning a lot off him."

NSW made 16 handling errors at Eden Park, and have managed to score just five tries in their past five games, but Phipps said patience would eventually reward their attacking breaks.
"You can say 'You shouldn't have thrown that ball' but people are trying to do things, getting excited and trying to offload and keep the game going forward," Phipps said.
"The pleasing thing is we are making the linebreaks, it's just that final step where we can get more calm and collected in the gold zone and finish off with three, five or seven points."
NSW has lost four of their past seven games and face the red-hot Hurricanes this Saturday in Sydney.
"It is such a long season that you do get those ups and downs, it's good for us that this is in the middle point of the season," Phipps said.
"If we can finetune a few things leading into the back end of the season, there are some teams we get to play again, hopefully that will help our game."
