    Agree totally Gigs None of the reserves want to look bad in a winning team so all should really step up

    I agree with the Dellit comments - I thought Foley took too long to drag him in the Rebels match. I saw him for Neddies v Cott a few weeks back (centre) and was expecting him to shine. He didn't. I really hope he has embraced the culture of the 1st team and steps up to play how he knows he can.

    Totally agree, came with the attitude that he was a shoe-in for the team. I would suggest he's playing for his contract now

    Earn your spot Dellit - different team now.

    We had a quick chat to Foley at captains run and he said that the new guys were really hungry and wanted to be a part of a winning side. He said everyone was excited.

    Incidentally ebersohn was nailing shots on goal from everywhere.

    Good to hear. Have been a bit disappointed in his kicking performance so far this year. I remember him being quite the sharpshooter at the cheetahs, but he's been missing a fair few reasonably easy kicks this year and only at 73% success rate

    Our strength is that the team play for one another. I have no doubt that the replacements are in that same frame of mind, otherwise the they would not have been selected. Will be looking forward to seeing that wall of defense and us capitalizing on the turn over ball. Go the Force, bring back another win and really shock the east coast when we go top of the Aussie Conference.

    The reasoning may be that Brache is working so well with Kyle that he should stay there. Dellit probably considered a better wing option than CTM, and he did enough off the bench last week to wartant another shot. All good.

    I dont trust Dellit enuff to start yet.
    I prefer to see godwin/brache in the centres, Cummins and DHP on the wings and Holmes at Fullback.
    While some of us have been critical of cummins(mainly in defense and lacking consumption of meat) I would like to see him be consistant for the rest of the season. Nobody ever questions his work ethic and passion but that alone wont guarantee him a gold jersey.

    Can't quite figure out GG's tone


    Rebels v Force, AAMI Park, Melbourne


    19:40 local, 09:40 GMT, 19:40 EST, 19:10 CST, 17:40 WST

    Head to head: Played 7; Rebels 5, Force 2

    In Melbourne: Played 3; Rebels 2, Force 1

    Last clash: Round 4 2014, Force 32 - 7 Rebels, nib Stadium, Perth

    Preview: There is no doubting the Force after their performance against the Waratahs last week. With almost no possession (33%) or territory (29%), the Force proved a simple game plan works, with the side pouncing on any of the Waratahs mistakes to score three tries and held strong in defence to let in only one try. Earning their fifth consecutive win - a first for the Force - they will enter round 10 with all the momentum behind them. Although they lost several players through injury after their massive win, their three keys players - Matt Hodgson, Ben McCalman and Nick 'the Honey Badger' Cummins - remain and will be ready to rally the troops and lead them to a sixth straight victory.

    The Rebels were unlucky to fall short to the Chiefs last weekend after clawing their way back from a 19-0 margin in the first half to come undone in the final minutes and finish 6-points short. A slow start and poor discipline cost the side early, but they made a quick turn around in the second half and showed dashes of greatness around the pitch. Bryce Hegarty, Jason Woodward and Scott Higginbotham will be essential in firing up the struggling pack.

    Oh..sorry didn't read on. Apparently it was the ARU and the Ref's fault that the Tahs lost..

    Waratahs v Bulls, Sydney Football Stadium, Sydney


    19:40 local, 09:40 GMT, 19:40 EST, 19:10 CST, 17:40 WST

    Head to head: Played 19; Waratahs 8, Bulls 11

    In Sydney: Played 8; Waratahs 5, Bulls 3

    Last clash: Round 12 2012, Bulls 27 - 24 Waratahs, Allianz, Sydney

    Preview: The Waratahs won't use the controversial withdrawal of Israel Folau as an excuse for their disappointing loss to the Force last weekend, after the side held close to all the of the possession (67%) and territory (71%) but failed to produce the points. Camped within the Force's half for most of the match, the Waratahs were impressive with crunching tackles, strong line breaks (10) and dazzling backline moves, but the side's lack of execution cost them the match. The forward pack was impressive with a dominant scrum; however, the Waratahs defence was lacking, as they were slow to reach the breakdown and allowed the Force to make easy metres. A return home should bring a more settled side to the game.

    ..

    Greg Growden writes: After being dudded by the Australian Rugby Union when ridiculously forced to withdraw Israel Folau and then in Perth struck down by an inexperienced, jittery referee, the Waratahs should get their season back on track against the Bulls.

    I suppose this could be the banana-skin game, but I'll be surprised if complacency is what loses us this match, I don't think we are that silly. I am concerned over the Dellit's wing defence, but who knows, he may well relish the recall and be at his barnstorming best!

    I suppose the best way for me to guarantee ourselves a win is for me to go to the TAB and put a lazy $5 on the Rebels! My shit luck will give the the Force the win! I'll happily give away a fiver for that! Cheaper than an NiB Stadium hot-dog!

    How about you put on a tenner to ensure it is a emphatic win. My fingernails and anxiety levels have had enough of the close ones.
