Careful Gunny, He'll whack you with a Tariff for such unkind words.Originally Posted by brokendown gunfighter
a win is essential,a loss means we are with the also rans
I know Marley Pearce is on the bench for this game, but with a lot of noise recently about Isaac Kailea I did a quick comparison.
Stats: Super Rugby-Level (Career - before this weekend's games)
Marley Pearce - Age 21
24 Games 8 Starts 889 Minutes
Isaac Aedo Kailea - Age 24
24 Games 6 Starts 786 Minutes
Now Kailea has also played for the Wallabies:
8 Games 2 Starts 254 Minutes
I suggest a bright future for young Marley, the next one to sign long-term.
That's gotta be one of our best ever halves.

Good to see GIGS getting some screen time today!
Laugh and the world laughs with you.......
......cry and you'll weaken your beer
Bugger I missed it!
Well Gunny, they got it done. In pretty good style at that. We haven't had the bye so that plays a role, but we'll take it anyway. It sees all 4 Oz teams in the top 6. The Blues, Canes & Highlanders are all among those also rans for now. The Sky Sports "Breakdown" might be a good watch on YouTube tomorrow. Maybe they'll reckon we should go back to 5 teams.

Great win,but the first 15 minutes after half time was very poor,the run of penalties was not acceptable,any other side would have taken advantage
True. But I'm choosing to ignore that for once. It's the coach's job to worry about that.

I'm taking that more as the ref desperately trying to prevent the result turning too one-sided. He suddenly became very pedantic where we were concerned, and let Fiji get away with anything the ref could ignore.
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
This to me was the most complete performance from a Force team in a long time ( Waratahs 2017 home ) . I enjoyed George Poolmans work on the outside …. Harry Potter has booked a Gold Jersey on that performance. The scrum was excellent…. Nic Dolly has to be in the Wallabies conversation…Go Force !!
Good win, faaaaark it was hot at the ground today!
Agreed. The not straight calls were inconsistent. Fiji apparently had no offside line. He let a lot of niggle go. It really irks me how inconsistent the TMOs are with chiming in. How did the scalp remover on Coxon get missed? The late hit on Potter?
I think we shook out of that rut pretty well in the end. Much better than in the Waratahs game.
