In The West story on Dane.
The Force's odds of toppling the Crusaders in Christchurch were dealt a blow yesterday when Ben McCalman (head gash) was ruled out of Friday's clash.
The loss of the Wallabies No.8 may hand Brynard Stander an opportunity to start.

Shame re Ben. But I reckon Brynard is a man on a mission and will do great as his replacement!
I think Big Dog needed a break and Stander has been outstanding. I bet he can't wait to face the Cru!! Rip in mate!
Have we organised our insurgents in the Christchurch crowd? 30 streakers painted in red'n'black flown over from Perth?
hope they are "big" boys,its bloody cold over there
There seems to be a common "nakedness" theme on this site at the moment! Lol ;-D
It will be good to see if Brynard is a first fifteen player or an impact player.
Good point KO! He'll be out to prove himself, that's for sure :-)
Bye the way - how did Francois go on Saturday as I didn't really notice him come on?
So if McCalman is out, who does that leave as the bench backrower? Bring a fourth lock and have Wykesy as a bench 6?
Play Stander for 80 and have an extra back...we'll need it!
Ps Stand up for your spot Brynard, even if it is the Big Dog, make him earn a return!
