Concerned about some of those injuries, particularly Rodda still out. Hopefully none are long term. Interesting to see how Naiyaravoro goes. Ten and 15 look like they maybe first choice as expected.

[Tazzmania]

Interesting team

Looks like Hamish Moore may be the missing hooker we need as he is on a train and play contract.

Titi Nofogatotoa was a Junior Wallaby in 2022.

Good to see Jye Legg over his injury

Jackson Pugh not listed ?

No Carlo either, is he injured?

[Tazzmania]

Siosifa Amone (knee), Harry Hoopert (knee), Felix Kalapu (hamstring), Campbell Parata (hamstring), Izack Rodda (foot), Papillon Sevele (knee), Carlo Tizzano (concussion), Angus Wagner (knee) and White (shoulder) were not considered for selection due to injury.

[Garry Owen]

Interesting they haven't named a captain yet. Hoping it is Williams and not Wells as I don't think Wells should be in that starting team when fully fit.

Was hoping Burey and Donaldson the other way around but I guess the positions are interchangeable these days. I actually think Potter would be our best fullback but lacking wingers.

Thanks, good to know - hope none of those are too serious/ light is at the end of the recovery tunnel for the fellas.

Force leading 13 - 0 2 tries to Harry Potter

[todd4]

Not sure who the Force captain is. Fines seemed to be doing the talking in one of the team huddles. Anyone know?

[.X.]

NOt sure about Captain Todd.

The back row is a bit of a concern giving up a lot of penalties.

Reds 5 - Force 13 - FIRST "Break"

[todd4]

Reds coming back Force 13 - Reds 12

[Jules]

Looks like Wells is the captain

[todd4]

OK, so Williams is the captain.

[todd4]

Reds hit the lead 19-13

[SNOB]

To many penalties as per usual!
Ball retention not good from either side.
