Another NRC side loaded with Wallabies and Super players for the Force to knock over.
Pama Fou a 7s player coming fresh off the bench should also add some punch.
Another big game. Great anticipation for these NRC matches this year. Thoroughly enjoying it.
Not a good start. Force had early posession, couldn't score.
Eagles winger Nawaqanitawase dummied and turned Feki inside out to score. Gordon then got a 2nd try
14-0 at 11 mins
Force 10m out, Ralston grubber comes up empty, but we get the scrum
Repeated infringements from Eagles. Nick Champion de Crespigny gets 10 in the bin
Force get a try through Tessman!
14 - 7 at 20 mins
Eisch -- Tessmann gets a YC
A big test today 😳
scrum going back ... a penalty try :(
21 - 7
32 mins
A bit of spite out there
Great 50m exit kick by deegs. Gets taken out for his touble.
Force lineout 10m out. CTM on the burst, but ruled a fwd pass.
21-7 HT
I can't stay for the 2nd half.
Hopefully they mount a comeback
I wonder if the commentators are from NSW by any chance!
Gee, this ref is awful
On his learner wheels at best, anyway. Eagles knock-on and Force head for the try line, but he calls it back for the scrum. You could hear him then apologising for getting it wrong. But only a bit of course...swapping a try for a chance to take on the strongest part of the Eagles game. From which they duly get the short-arm. :whatever:
Not happy with Eagles forward pass by a mile to get a try - and Deegan giving out the pay to the ref.
Hannigan is a filthy grub.
