Wicked!! Its good to see they are taking Force seriously

[Dramoth]

awesome comments from the kiwi's... I think that they firmly believe that we should have won the match...

But what can be done now... we cant overturn the results and have the try actually awarded which would give us the win... so we are going to have to be happy knowing that we actually won and accept the draw

[Sagerian]

I hope the result doesn't get the boys down. They thoroughly deserve to skin the cats.

The maybe next year they can.

Pony the Brumbies.
Turn the Reds pink.
Deflower the Tahs (or maybe not).
Make the Blues sing the blues.
Buck the Bulls (yes I said buck)
Be a force against the Hurricanes.
Weather the stormers.
Crusade in Cristchurch
Skin the cats.
Skin the cheetahs.
Catch the Sharks, hook, line and sinker.
Say how to the Chiefs
and.. err.. beat the Highlanders

[Darren]

So in the next 3 weeks,

Skin the Cats
Spey the Cheetahs?
Catch the Sharks

Bring it aawwnnnn!!!

Nice to see the Kiwi's recognising the true story of the game.

Coach....Burgs would be proud of you for the spey comment..

You're pretty safe Exile, it's a female thing
Would probably prefer to "pluck the Waratahs" thanks all the same Sage
Agree that it is a great article considering its source.
We must let the moment pass though and focus on both the positives of the match and the fact we have three winable fixtures left in SA to finish the season.
As Dramoth says, we can't overturn the result so we just need to knuckle down to that which can be impacted upon, that is the future.
Mathematically we can finish with 19 points which, if the Reds and Stormers fail to get anymore points, could move us right up to eleventh (and third of the Australians) after the last round.
Over the course of time this would be seen as a respectable start for a new franchise.

[Sagerian]

Hehe no worries Burgs, have it your way.

I am hoping the players can let it go and focus on the Cats game, sounds easy as they're professional players but it has to be disheartening.

[Darren]

I thought Exile was a girl? Thats what TEF is always calling him ...

Respectable would be an understatement. I feel a tri-win commin up. and with copious amounts of points to spare. go the force.

I agree Burgs - its time to stop worrying about what might have been. THat we were robbed etc etc etc. Its over - nothing will change the score line. It will still be a draw. Its time to move on my friends. Its time to start getting excited about the Forces first tour of South Africa.

[Lonzy]

dont think they boys have anything to worry about !!! they should know they did a fantastic job! and it was a silly mistake that cost em the game, by the ref, not the force players ... so i think they will go into the SA games witha little more confidence then they have been go in with of late! Im gonna be proud just to see the boys finish they have been doing a great job and I hope they know it

[MysticBalls]

Two wins now against the Cats and Cheetahs will end the season off nicely. Don'y worry about total points or position on ladder. Two wins and a draw is BETTER than Crusaders first year '96.

There are so many positives to take from this year already, and a huge thanks to the Subi crowd for their show against the Crus of 30,000! . The Reds 16,000 for their last two game looks pale in comparison.

All that the Force need to do to close out the season, is to close out a win, then another win!
