    Western Force Win Aussie Grand Slam!

    Western Force have given the Waratahs delusions of adequacy a real knock (as expected) in Sydney tonight.

    Putting aside a possible 3 disallowed tries courtesy of referee James Leckie, they demolished the 'tahs by a single point.

    Might have been easier without Drew making so many unforced errors

    Yay!!! What a game - gee whiz!

    Even though JM called it the most boring game that he's seen in a long time..

    Cam Shep was named MOM - totally deserved it - welcome back Shep!

    Here I go again...

    He did make mistakes and I really really hope that they don't pick him at fullback again. He bummed 2 kicks making them go vertical in the first half and he got messed up with the bounce in our 22. But he got a hold of his kicking in the second half and I think made 3 or 4 decent ones. AND tackled Turner like HELL once Cam missed the tackle. It was just unfortunate it lead to a try. He wasn't exceptionally good. But it was an improvement on last week.

    They had JOC in the fullback's position in defense early on. James was great tonight. Bambam was quiet I thought compared to Waugh. Valentine was also fantastic, I think he'll be in the Wallabies squad this year. TPN cannot throw straight and he's going to be the reserve hooker when it comes to international season Why didn't Whittaker get a run?

    Rugby 365 sums it up:

    Man of the Match: Phil Waugh was brave as usual you got to give points for effort to players like Lote Tuqiri and Brett Sheehan. For the Western Force captain Nathan Sharpe put his hand up again, Matt Giteau was very lively, while wings Scott Staniforth and Cameron Shepherd were also full of running. But this was a win earned by a great team effort and we have 22 Men of the match - the entire Force team

    I could not believe that JM actually kept Drew on the field I would have replaced him early on with Sheps and Haig Sare onto wing

    What a gutsy performance from the force,and a crap performance from the match officials,they should go and give themselves a red card.

    Time for another WOOHOO!!!

    Bonus points should be awarded to the Force for putting up with some incredibly dodgy calls and not giving up, going hard at it for the full 80!
