Last game of the year at home, I expect everyone from club rugby will attend given the Fortescue Premier Grade friendly kick off time of 8pm, just shame it's too late for the kiddies to attend :sarcastic:

I reckon the win is on. We can't make this one.
HURRICANES (1-15): Pouri Rakete-Stones, Dane Coles, Owen Franks, James Blackwell, Justin Sangster, Caleb Delany, Du'Plessis Kirifi, Brayden Iose, TJ Perenara (c), Aidan Morgan, Salesi Rayasi, Billy Proctor, Bailyn Sullivan, Wes Goosen, Josh Moorby
RESERVES: Asafo Aumua, Xavier Numia, Tevita Mafileo, Blake Gibson, Ardie Savea, Jamie Booth, Jackson Garden-Bachop, Teihorangi Walden
FORCE TBC
Yep, I expect the win with the Canes resting a bunch under the assumption that the Chiefs are a guaranteed win against the Drua and the Blues will beat the tahs, so no big changes to the table (No chance of getting a home final, and slipping a place if the Tahs do pull off an upset will see them playing the Brumbies rather than the Chiefs, I'd rest everybody I could)
Then all the pressure will be on the Rebels who will then have absolutely no reason to win the game against the Landers because the Force will be unreachable. Knowing this the Rebels will likely phone one in and we'll miss the finals.
Alternately the Canes will seek a tune up against the Force and we'll lose big, the Rebels will sniff the blood in the water and still lose
As long as we're ahead of the Rebels I'm suggesting the season isn't completely lost.
Seems to be the weekend for upsets, Drua almost beating the chiefs, Mona looking like they will beat the brumbies. Fingers crossed for us tonight.
Probably best the ground announcer keeps his opinions on the referees decisions to himself and focus on things he is better informed on
I think Angus was our MOTM.
First time in ages that I have felt the ref was terrible, but terrible in our favour.
Was that the first win over the Hurricanes since 2007?
What a game, looking forward to re-watching tomorrow.
Unfortunate for Kahui to have to come off.
Thrushy for the 70+ minutes.
Anstee looking good
A few moments of frustration, annoyed the doctor had a go at the refs for not stopping the game when Kahui went down then the doctor having to run over to the touchy and point out Winchester. Are the touchys too scared to get involved even for the protection of players?
We were still trying to lose with 1 minute on the clock!
Must remember to take beta blockers before Force games. My bad!
Highlanders ahead at the moment: 12-7 after 27 minutes
