The Waratahs underachieved last year but the new coach – the hard-bitten former homicide detective Ian Kennedy – is expected to put some more resolve in the team’s collective spine. Their star fullback, Matthew Burke, is back on deck- which is a good start. And with some of their younger players benefiting from their World Cup run, the team should make the playoffs this year.

On display in the palatial MNAC are 32 drawings by the gifted, though now unjustly forgotten Catalan artist, Xavier Nogués. The paramount ‘noucentiste’, Nogués reached considerable fame at the beginning of the 20th-century for his humorous drawings of popular Catalan scenes and aphorisms. The drawings, executed in a loose and confident style reminiscent of Honoré Daumier, are from Nogués’ once-famous book, ‘Picturesque Catalonia’, first published in 1919 with commentaries by the writer Francesc Pujols.
