    Force vs Highlanders 2017

    Naholo suspended for one week

    Highlanders winger Waisake Naholo will miss the Super Rugby clash with the Western Force in Perth on Saturday after copping a one-game ban for a shoulder charge against the Bulls.

    All Blacks flyer Naholo was sent off for the incident midway through the second half of Saturday's 17-10 win in Pretoria.

    His shoulder collected the head of Burger Odendaal after the Bulls inside centre passed the ball.

    A SANZAAR foul play review committee accepted a guilty plea from Naholo and said the incident was at the lower end of the scale.

    A two-week ban was reduced because of Naholo's good judicial record and early plea.

    Sopoaga is apparently going to be back however, which will make a huge difference to their attack

    That can turn to our advantage; specially if we put lots of pressure on him.

    THE Western Force are set to be boosted by the return of a host of stars as the franchise plot their path towards becoming Australia’s sole representative in this year’s Super Rugby finals.
    The Force boosted their chances of winning the Australian conference by notching an upset 16-6 win last week over the Jaguares in Argentina.
    The Brumbies lead the Australian conference on 19 points, but the Force are just six points back and boast the luxury of having four of their final five games at home.
    The Force have been decimated by injuries all season, but the tide is about to turn.
    Veteran Matt Hodgson (ankle), winger Luke Morahan (fractured cheekbone) and Wallabies hooker Tatafu Polata-Nau (rested) are set to return for Saturday night’s home clash with the Highlanders at nib Stadium.
    And they could be joined by prop Jermaine Ainsley (dislocated elbow), lock Matt Philip (foot) and reserve halfback Michael Ruru (ankle).
    Skipper Ben McCalman has targeted next week’s away clash with Queensland for his return from an ongoing shoulder issue, while Wallabies utility back Dane Haylett-Petty (hamstring) is also closing in on a return in coming weeks.
    Prop Ben Daley (knee) and scrumhalf Ryan Louwrens (knee) won’t play again this season, but star winger Chance Peni is a chance to return after the June Test window bye.

    States that force are looking at the finals and mentions the rebels seem more vulnerable for the chop. Dare I suggest a positive article.

    Luke Morahan is down the pecking order in my opinion, rather persist with Newsome, Verity-Ann and Masiwera.

    Not blaming him for taking up a contract overseas, but we are better off giving game time and experience to the likes of Newsome and Verity-Amm.

    Matt Phillips coming back might mean Carmichael missing out. Personally, I've been impressed by the young Scot, but I guess we've only got him on loan and Phillips needs the games.

    It would be a shame if those who stepped up big time last week are not rewarded for their efforts. I'm sure they will be.

    One of the biggest changes I noticed against the Hhhhhhhhhhhaguares was how they played with out fear. Especially in the 2nd half. That was a massive change to what I've been used to in the past.... it was great to watch.... fu@kin loved it!
