Our first 6 / 2 bench split
Starting backs same as last week, number of changes in forwards.
Great to have Robbo and Folau back.
Good to see Wagner back as well. Would really like to see what Pugh could bring to the table instead of the limited time he's been getting, same with Feleti. kibirige better be on his defence as well with these lads they're playing against.
I like how the Western Force have added Flags for each player.
Would be nice to see WA Flags for the locals.
Strong side. Don't really think McCaulay offers much apart from being extremely tall but will see what he can do. I think Feleti deserves a proper crack, has been playing better. But overall looking pretty strong especially with the likes of Felix, Isi and Anstee on the bench
Is Medrano injured or rested?

The Western Force's front-row stocks have received a huge double boost after Wallabies forwards Tom Robertson and Folau Fainga'a were cleared to return for Friday night's crunch clash with Fijian Drua at HBF Park.
Hooker Fainga'a has battled an Achilles heel injury all season and hasn't featured since playing in the round-five loss to the Blues.
Prop Robertson is back after missing two matches with a calf strain.
Their experience and class could prove critical as the Force (3-7) attempt to snap a two-match losing run that has resulted in them tumbling to 11th spot on the Super Rugby Pacific ladder.
Fijian Drua are four points ahead of the Force in eighth spot, making Friday's clash a crucial encounter in the race for a top-eight berth.
Force No.8 Rahbni Vosayaco returns to the starting line-up following the birth of his son, with recent signing Isi Naisarani relegated to the bench.
Prop Angus Wagner is back after recovering from a hamstring injury.
Sevens star Max Burey retains his spot at five-eighth in an unchanged backline from the team that lost to the Crusaders 48-13 in Christchurch last week.
FORCE: Angus Wagner, Folau Fainga'a, Tom Robertson, Jeremy Williams, Ryan McCauley, Michael Wells (capt), Carlo Tizzano, Rahboni Vosayaco, Issak Fines-Leleiwasa, Max Burey, Manasa Mataele, Hamish Stewart, Sam Spink, Zach Kibirige, Chase Tiatia. Res: Tom Horton, Marley Pearce, Siosifa Amone, Felix Kalapu, Tim Anstee, Isi Naisarani, Ian Prior, George Poolman.

am i the only one who cannot read the team image?
will be good to see what Max offers with some ball in hand, and hopefully a pack that goes forward. Interestingly, i think our weakest part of the team is the reserve backs. Prior has not been on fire of late, and Poolman, well... he's not gone well so far.

edit: Largest it will go, sorry. Size is limited to 740 pixels wide.
If you use Palitu's method and paste into paint it comes out billboard size. So you still have to resize - downwards. From Firefox anyhoo. :dunno:
Just hope the back 5 are wearing the right studs!! Not that any of you blind bastards will see it!
:lolup:
Who the f**k scheduled this game for 5:30 on a Friday?
