    Part of the "fascination" of supporting the Force
    So true...Pocock is cocky....Force by 8 points....i hope they can field a full side...???

    The comment was really indicating that if I had more work I'd be spending less time on TWF and G&GR.

    the Saders was exactly the team I had in mind when writing that the Brumbies isn't traditionally a team that gets complacent. The Saders routinely field weakened sides against us, travel to Perth for sun baking and relaxation and trial new game plans against us. They're notorious for treating us with disrespect and our record against them has proven how ineffective that attitude is.

    The Tahs show an inconsistency for the same reason (poor mental preparation) but I haven't seen that from the Brumbies. All indications are that we're buggered on Friday night (but I've still put a sneaky 50Vk on the Force as a long shot)
