    We didn't play the Blues at the neutral venue of Loftus Versveld in Pretoria in 2012

    Loftus Versveld is a very long way from Eden Park.

    Honey Badger in doubt for Force clash

    Star Western Force centre Kyle Godwin faces a battle to play again this Super Rugby season, while Wallabies winger Nick Cummins is in doubt for Saturday night's crunch clash with the Blues due to a neck injury.

    And the playing return of Luke Morahan has been pushed back with the winger suffering a slight setback in his recovery from a serious hamstring injury.

    Godwin hasn't played since injuring the posterior cruciate ligament in his knee against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on May 10.

    The 21-year-old was initially scheduled to return this week, but is back in a knee brace after a slower-than-expected recovery.

    Godwin is a chance to be back to full training within the next fortnight, but coach Michael Foley says he will be taking a cautious approach with the future Wallaby.

    "At this stage of Kyle's career, putting him on the field would be risking a more-serious knee injury," Foley said on Friday.

    "He's not 100 per cent fit, and we'd prefer to wait a bit longer to make sure his knee is solid, and do all we can to make sure it doesn't turn into something bigger.

    "He's in a brace. He's doing a lot of things away from the team in more-controlled situations so that he doesn't take a knock there.

    "He's got a lot of movement, but it's just putting him in that uncontrolled circumstance and certain contact situations that might not happen for another week or two."

    Cummins is battling a neck injury he first sustained while playing for the Wallabies in their win over France three weeks ago.

    Although Cummins managed to play out the Test series, the injury progressively worsened, with a final call on his fitness likely to be made on Saturday morning.

    If Cummins is ruled out, utility Solomoni Rasolea will take his place on the wing.

    "Nick ran around with the team yesterday, which was good to see. But he is sore," Foley said.

    "When you talk about necks and heads, you're more conservative with your decisions."

    The Force have been bolstered by the return of scrumhalf Alby Mathewson (ankle), Ben McCalman (groin), Marcel Brache (ankle) and Hugh McMeniman (collarbone) for a game vital to their finals chances.

    Two wins from their next three games should be enough for the Force to secure a maiden finals berth, while three wins is likely to land them a prized home final.

    But Foley is taking nothing for granted as he prepares to take on a Blues team laden with All Black talent.

    We need to get out the blocks early & take it to them. Our below par performances this year have been when we started slow. Every game from now on should be played like we're in the finals.

    If we make it, I don't care if we get knocked out in the first finals game. I think it's important for us going forward to know we can do it. It will give us a marker in future years to aspire to & surpass. This is one of the most important games, if not the most important in our history.

    Come on boys. You've surprised everyone this year & already proved it's no fluke. After hearing & reading some recent EC press everyone is expecting us to fall away & the bubble to burst.

    Fu@k 'em all! Go out and show the doubters we're here to stay.

    Force Day 2007

    4/5/2007 - The Force had a sniff on being in the finals in only their second year if some results went our way.

    Before the game had even started those results of other games went against us and the Blues needed to win big to get in the final 4.

    They did, 33-6 on the back of some ref decisions that included allowing the Blue a try from an illegal quick line out.

    Revenge boys, revenge.

    So far the results are going our way. Thanks to Otago. OK it's only 1 result but I'll take that.

    After two results with the underdogs getting up I hope it doesn't continue, I'd prefer the Brums to lose and obviously the Blues as well.
