Hoping the Force can do the impossible tomorrow

 

[Thalium]

Jeremy Williams and Atu Moli scratched pre game

Sam Carter to start and captain the side

Kane Koteka onto the bench

Fatongia Paea onto the bench

 

[Shiggins]

Massive outs for the force. Whites Injured and they had to pick up a kid in Auckland to sit on the bench at hooker. O oh

No Williams either. Caps out. This will I'll be a mission

 

[dru]

Well it seems like a mission and a half for the Force, but I do support cross Tasman games today. Happy ANZAC day, brothers.

 

[Derpus]

Oof. Ah well.

 

[Shiggins]

Refs wearing an away all blacks jersey

[Shiggins]

What a terrible way to start the game. No impact on the game but technical call.

 

[dru]

No impact bar 3 pts?

 

[D-Box]

Not sure about that penalty

 

[dru]

Nice kick

 

[Shiggins]

No Marley Pearse either ? Imo our best prop

 

[dru]

No impact bar 3 pts?

OK. Trading 3 for 5 7. That'll do.

 

[Shiggins]

Great line out steal and score ! I thought without Williams we wouldnt see that in the line out. Swaine !

 

[Shiggins]

No impact bar 3 pts?

No impact on the game. As in it's a rough penalty as it had no impact on the chase

 

[Derpus]

Solid start from the Force.

 

[dru]

OK, what does "accidental" mean?

 

[Shiggins]

Chiefs lock should have been penalised for taking out swaines arms

 

[Shiggins]

OK, what does "accidental" mean?

That was textbook accidental
