Chiefs have just beaten the Hurricanes 24-16 with neither side getting a bonus point.
I assume that's a result the Force would be happy with.
I was yelling at the Chiefs to KTFTO at the end.
With about 5 to go the ref looked like he was desperately trying to get the 'Canes a bonus point.
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
Pretty much any result that doesn't involve bonus points helps us. That should put paid to the 'Canes, barring a small chance of holding on for 6th.
Just saw the Foles interview abo I t the game.
Interviewer: RG has been playing the mind games this week.
Foles: Richard would understand pressure with the position his team is in.
Bloody beauty of a response and said without being a dick. C'mon force!!!!!!!!
THE WEST -
Western Force coach Michael Foley has taken a swipe at Queensland counterpart Richard Graham, suggesting he should concern himself with the pressure his underperforming team is under rather than worry about the Perth-based side's Super Rugby finals ambitions.
FOX -
“The pressure is all on them. It’s very different for them being in the hunt rather than trying to spoil other sides,’’ said Graham, a former Force coach.
Foley fired back with a winning serve: “I guess Richard would understand pressure with the position his team is in at the moment.’’
RG playing mind games? He doesn't know what he's saying most of the time. He just opens his mouth and sh1t just pours out. Some things don't change.
May the FORCE be with you!
1 Foley > 10,000 Grahams
Crusaders win by 8 so no bonus point for the Blues
We now sit on 40 points. We need at least a bonus point to be within finals range. Although that would require the Blues to beat the Chiefs without the Chiefs getting 2 BPs (likely) and the Bulls to either lose a game (likely as they are playing the Stormers away) or not get any bonus points with 2 wins (unlikely as the Rebels will leak points). It's a real shame we couldn't get that 4th try tonight.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
You're right James - they were on the right track and then lo & behold they start the kicking shit again! FFS! Is it not getting through that with the ball in hand is when they're looking good? Once the kicking starts everything turns to shit!
Huge shame we didn't get the BP. But given that the Reds drew level in that 2nd half, I'm very happy to have got the W!!!
Bonus points to us make no difference only wins as we are 1 game ahead of every one with 9 wins
A win next week gives us a home play off game if we finish 4th and looking at the ladder it looks great but its a must win as a lose puts us out
Do or die final game agianst the Nags
