Yes great post Egan.
What a great tour of Sth Africa, not many people would have picked a cleansweep, myself included. Great comeback for the boys after the rnd 1 defeat.
BRING ON THE LIONS!!!!!
I'll suffer in silence having not seen the match yet
Great post Egan!
WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!

Hurricanes beat the Blues by a point so we maintain at least equal second when the dust settles I think?

I was thinking that too but the Blues got a BP for less than 7 loss, but on margin Force should be outright second... maybe? Or third... At the present minute I mean.
Let's hope the "home ground" hoodoo doesnt come back to haunt us next week!!
Surely not after what has been accomplished in Sth Africa.
Yeah not sure, guess we'll just have to wait![]()

Hope you're right. I couldn't help but think everyone wanted to do something spesh for the home crowd. If they just play rugby they'll be fine.Originally Posted by Lock
Guys -we're still on top of the ladder at the moment. The Blues got a BP loss and hence are on 9 but our point difference is significant at the moment (21). We have a chance of finishing on top if:
The Sharks lose
and
all the teams on 5 points (Cheetahs, Brumbies, Crusaders or Highlanders) don't get a BP win. If the Cheetahs win by more than 7 they'll overtake our point difference.
We'll wait and see. (Pray for draws!!! - except in the Sharks game)
oh great post egan!!
brought a tear to my eye.... so darn proud of the boys and their gutsy efforts in South Africa!
Now bring on a home game win!!!
I made Happy sad...

61 years between Grand SlamsWas the wait worth it - Ya betta baby

Yeah, top post Egan.
Roll on Saturday night......hopefully 3 wins on the trot, and THE FIRST at Subi.
If I wasn't a has been, I could've been a never was.
You are right Jess - ARU didn't update - wrongly assumed they had - anyways fixed now

By my reckoning the Force will be knocked from 1st if:
Sharks win by more than 12 points or with BP
or
Crusaders win by more than 20 or with BP
or
Tahs win by 26 with BP
or
Cheetahs win by 7 or with BP
if two of the above occur, we finish the round in third. One occurs, we finish second and obviously if none transpire, that which we have dreamed but dared not believe possible (yet) just may come through.
If the Sharks win at all, they'll jump over us. They already have 8 points and we have 9.Originally Posted by blindsid3
