Force v Reds - Game day

[Jules]

Pleased with that effort. Still a few shake the head moments with the kicks but after last week a much happier Force supporter.,

I don't understand those people who started leaving at around the 72 minute mark - the game was far from done and dusted, could have gone either way. Figured they must have been Rugby Catholics - you know, they pull out at the last minute.

How many forward passes and offsides were missed by the ref?

[oxleymoron]

I hung around after the game and had a word with Marto. He had massive wraps on the defence (praise for Dave Wessels - even though he didn't know who he was) and Kyle's game.

I couldn't resist mentioning that we are undefeated against the Reds this year

Chris Alcock - MOM IMO.

Fyi.. word from inside is someone at the stadium blew up the computer that runs the screens, hence no live feed.

Great effort
It shits me when we don't win games and miss kicks from virtually in front

Yep, but to be fair, could have gone either way with Cooper's misses equalling Sias effort:

Players Ebersohn 0/1 (0%) Conversions 0 Conversions 0Players Cooper 0/1 (0%)
Players Ebersohn 2/3 (66%) Penalty goals 2 Penalty goals 2Players Cooper 2/3 (66%)

From Twitter: "James Horwill issued an Off-Field Yellow Card following Super Rugby Match Western Force v Reds"

and the stamping of pek cowan by james horwill in the 3rd minute apparently (what the off-field yellow card was about). does seem to be the weekend for missing the obvious...

Delayed telecast? Just like everything else in Perth (unless you have Fox Sports)

No chance

I stand at the shed end of the ground and there were heaps of empty seats visable

[maelkann]

Did wonder about that stomping. Would have liked to see a replay, but, well, you know.

should have been more, except we were held to ransom by a tv schedule. Heaven forbid if you wanted to watch your local team play AND go to the Force game. 6.30 start would have been fair all round

[BeeJay]

Great effort tonight, would have been nice to get the win.

Set piece much better - scrum very solid and lineout improved. K bomb superb at tight head. Super work at the breakdown - great coaching ploy to have both Alcock and Hodgo on in tandem. Big games from Big Benny Mac and Tesseman, and best game this year from Wykesy.

Great to see the Honey Badger back - every time he got the ball the advantage line was history. Not sure about Jacobs - though he may have been in the side for his defence rather than attack. Godwin superb as ever.

Took my 8 year old today - fantastic for me to hear him scream "Go Force!!", and fantastic for him not be driven home by Cussin' Grumbly dad!

Don't tell Jo.

And she had to go to "Circe de Sole" instead. I'm not sure if I should tell her about the flowers that were left on her seat.
