Weekend ending 14/08/2022 stats for Force Players:
Hawkes Bay v Counties
Chase Tiatia 6 Passes 2 Tackles 2 Missed tackles 3 Kicks 0 Clean breaks 42 Metres carried 2 Defenders beaten
Tasman v Otoga
Cambell Parata 3 Penalty goals 18 Passes 2 Tackles 4 Missed tackles 8 Kicks
Canterbury v Wellington
Manasa Maetele 4 Passes 3 Tackles 2 Missed tackles 10 Metres carried
Southland v Auckland
Jackson Pugh 1 Try 3 Passes 3 Tackles 0 Missed tackles 0 Kicks 0 Clean breaks 39 Metres carried 2 Defenders beaten
My summary:
Jackson Pugh the standout Force player of the weekend, starting to look more at home at number 8, probably just needs to bulk a bit more.
Chase Tiatia will be our starting full back, looks good
Manasa being Manasa, decent hit out
Cambell Parata getting good game time, game management and converting decent penalties

Didn't see any of these games, but the stats look like there were a lot of missed tackles, can anybody shed some light?

80 Minutes, 15 Positions, No Protection, Wanna Ruck?
Ruck Me, Maul Me, Make Me Scrum!
Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
"Jackson Pugh, the Australian. He's not used to going forward in scrums".....
So he picks the ball up from the back and carts 3 defenders over the line to score against Southland.![]()

Mixed weekend for the Force boys;
Cambell Parata looked out of his depth against Canterbury, Chase Tiatia was looking good but took a knee to the rib cage and had to leave the field, Manasa was just being Manasa and Jackson Pugh again the standout. Whoever managed to organise Jackson Pugh at Auckland deserves more than a pat on the back, the kid is looking better and better every week.
Stats:
Cambell Parrata 1 x Penalty goal Substituted after 48 minutes 8 Passes 1 Tackles 2 Missed tackles 4 Kicks 0 Clean breaks 2 Metres carried 0 Defenders beaten
Manasa Mataele 1 Try Substitution off 54 minutes 2 Passes 2 Tackles 0 Missed tackles 1 Kicks 4 Clean breaks 84 Metres carried 4 Defenders beaten
Chase Tiatia 1 Try Substitution off 38 minutes 3 Passes 1 Tackles 1 Missed tackles 1 Kicks 1 Clean breaks 13 Metres carried 3 Defenders beaten
Jackson Pugh 6 Passes 13 Tackles 1 Missed tackles 0 Kicks 1 Clean breaks 64 Metres carried
