MAIN GAME MAIN GAME
Force to kick off in the 1st half.
The Emirates Western Force strike immediately, stunning the crowd with a try inside 2 minutes. Justin Turner made the break, dishing to David Pocock who slid over for an easy try in the left hand corner. Conversion unsuccessful from Matt Giteau, leaving the score at 5-0.
Nathan Sharpe leads the Emirates Western Force out in front of an enthusiastic home crowd of around 4,000 on a calm and humid night in Brisbane.
Heremia Te Aute scored the Academy's only try in the 31-10 defeat, with Scott Daruda adding a conversion and James O'Connor a penalty goal.
Welcome to Ballymore for the Emirates Western Force's final pre-season match against the Queensland Reds. No Valentine or O'Young for the WA side tonight, but Justin Turner gets his chance at No.9. Full time in the pre-match fixture with Queensland A running out 31-10 winners over a RugbyWA Academy side.

BOKKE“Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White
Momentum continuing to favour the visitors, with the Force scrum putting plenty of pressure on the Reds pack.

Leroy Houston drops the ball with the tryline beckoning after Reds halfback Ben Lucas made the initial bust and found Berrick Barnes in support. Houston dropped a perfectly thrown inside ball to bomb a certain Reds try at the 9 minute mark.
