Western Force v Hurricanes 19/04/2025

[Shiggins]

What does Poolman offer besides being tall? Dime a dozen Winger.

Hope he does something amazing and wins the game for the Force but cmon get the kids like Leahy into the squad.

Been saying this for 3 years

Donaldson missed the penalty by a foot. Love missed the drop goal by less. Game probably deserved a draw.


Canes blew that try but so did potter. If he just ran the ball the force probably score even if he doesn't

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Way better than a loss which was on the cards but I reckon Cron will be disappointed when you look at the draw coming up for the Force. Chiefs away, blues away, Brums home, Fiji away then Tahs home. 2/5? Hopefully jag a couple BPs but might come down to watching the last rounds results when the force have a bye.

Everyone from 3 down keep falling over each other so that will help.

The force could win a game in NZ. Maybe the blues. The travel is out of control though. Someone on the podcast had a slight whinge at the way the games are rostered and that the tahs had to fly from Perth to NZ. Hahaha ma plz. The tahs have travelled about 1/6 of the force so far this year.

 

[Heavyd]

That was a brutal encounter and entertaining game of footy. Geez the Hurricanes 7 is a good player. Some massive hits. Good on the Force, really roughed it out. I think a draw is probably the fair result.

I think possibly 4/5. 3/5 is well on. The blues can be beat. Fiji, with the force defence they can win this game. Brumbies at home would go close but I would prefer to play the brums at home than the hurricanes. Tahs will be bottom of the ladder by then

 

[Shiggins]

I thought Murphy let the hurricanes get away with a lot at the ruck but it was a hell of an exciting game and I'm not even mad.

 

[Shiggins]

Most importantly boys ! No kiwi side has won is Australia still. You're welcome

 

[Equalizer]

Frenetic viewing but ultimately fairly brainless ploddy stuff.

I missed about 10 minutes solid in the 2nd half as I was consumed by gales of laughter at the Harkin bloke opting to throw the ball infield rather than continue about 2 more steps to the tryline to score a certain try.

Mate that game was a f#cken contest. Dont downplay it. Great physical contests result in turnovers. Those teams gave it all.

 

[Shiggins]

Watch Potters grubber again. If he doesn't kick that, he gets a massive shoulder charge off hurricanes 11 and it's probably a yelow and maybe penalty card. Potter is so quick I think he had already beaten the canes 12. Wish he held onto it and had a crack.

Don't listen to that sad condescending bloke. It was a cracker of a game. The breakdown wasn't reffed which resulted in way to many turnovers to the canes but the handling errors were low and it was a physical fast encounter.

 

[Shiggins]

Seriously the worst bombed try I’ve ever seen. Anything else come close? It was ridiculous.

Nah white had him covered. Bloke had no chance.

that sad condescending bloke

Neither team knew how to win it. If you Force fans can't see that then you're even more one-eyed than I am.

Force fans. Elated with a draw.

Explains a lot.

You just keep that 6th spot warm cos there's a murderously handsome outfit from Auckland who are about to relieve you of it in a fortnight from now

Mate we're just happy with the contest. This Force.team is fighting. They're staying in the run for the finals. It's a f#cking contest. Its good rugby.

The reality of the fact that the Force are better than your rugby team is indeed crushing.

 

[Equalizer]

Now I feel obliged to step in and correct the record. That was a bloody brutal game. The physicality at the breakdown and off the ball was huge. If there were errors....it was because it was a f@rken war out there.

The Force competed and said......nahh...nahhh Canes....not on our Field. We will, and we did match you. No rolling over. The Force in 25 is competing and fighting for position on the ladder. Dont take us for granted. Go You Force!
