Western Force Set Sights on Aussie Triple Crown

[Darren]

After a heart breaking loss to the Hurricanes by a single point from a Corey Jane try scored after the final siren, the Western Force are already focused on their next match - the Waratahs.

Having already defeated both the Queensland Reds and Brumbies, the Force are looking to turn a mathematical chance of a finals position back into a real possibility with the added bonus of making a clean sweep of the Australian super 14 franchises.

It sounds like there may be a few injuries after tonight.

I hate to say it, but the Tah's are earning my grudging respect this year.

I think they are looking a safe bet at the SFS.

[benny]

No hope if the injuries are as bad as first looked ....

Tic, mate, you deffinately must not be a true QLDer, with these comments. I have never known a QLD to barrack for NSW even if its against abroad teams. Its like Man City supporter barracking for United for a game NEVER HAPPPENS !!

[Darren]

Respect and Support are 2 very different things...

[tic]

Ha. No I'm certainly not barracking for the Tahs - just stating what appears to be true - that their boring, grinding, 10 man rugby, actually gets the job done.

I think there are a few issues from tonight's game that need addressing before they move on from it completely.

shep > drew

I agree. Pleeeeease take 15 away from him - for ever!

DHP can play 15 last time I checked...?

[lara93]

put drew back on the wing if shep aint ready

[jono]

put gits at 15. he'll kick all night and o'connor can play 10 and actually run with the ball

12 perhaps?

I think Giteau wasn't up to too much tonight, but I'll (try) watch the replay before I say anything else. But I don't have an issue with him playing at 12 or O'Connor at 10. I'd actually quite like it! But then, who wouldn't like to see JOC wipe the floor with Beale

Edit - You changed it!! I swear it said 10 before Well Gits at 15 would be great too
