    Force land big fish after years of trying

    It has taken six years, but Western Force have finally unveiled former Springbok Peter Grant as a marquee international on a two-year deal.

    The experienced playmaker will bring consistency to the role that has been a constant headache for the club, with Grant set to become the 23rd player to wear the No.10 jumper since 2006.

    The Force back line stuttered last year, but Grant and fellow acquisitions Ben Tapuai and Jono Lance are key components in coach Michael Foley’s plan to play an up-tempo game next season.

    I don't remember seeing "Peter Grant" and "up-tempo game" in the same sentence. Looking forward to how this pans out in the season.

    Excellent tactical kicking has been a part of the All Blacks "up tempo game" for years now.

    I guess it's all about having the confidence that when caution IS thrown to the wind that you have a good kicker in the side who can pull your arse out of the fire.

    After all this time angling and enticing the fish seems to have shrunk a little.

    cold water and shrinkage go hand in hand (or fin in fin.)

    Can you have your 5/8 wearing a number other than 10? Maybe 9.5 or something?
