BLAKE HAPPY WITH DEFENSIVE START

[RugbyWA]

Emirates Western Force Defence & Skills Coach, Phil Blake, said the club will take plenty out of their widely applauded defensive effort against the Reds but will have to replicate the endeavor while employing new tactics against an in-form Sharks outfit in a weekâ??s time.

The Sharks weren't outstanding, but will certainly be a step up from how the Reds played last week. The Force will have a tough assignment in this next match.

Good to see plans are being laid for each individual opponent. Defense around the fringes of the ruck will be important. We have to win the collision, but not commit too many to the breakdown to do this. Will be a tough assignment.
