Force v Highlanders R8

[The Ghost of Raelene]

The Billy Slater special.

 

[Wallabies]

It is actually euphoric seeing a TMO actually go against the favour of NZ when versing Aussies

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

That was filth

 

[Wallabies]

Even better

 

[todd4]

After all this time Poolman is starting to look good.

 

[Wallabies]

arghhh

 

[Heavyd]

I w worked out why Super rugby has gone of the boil of late. The poor standard of refereeing is destroying the momentum of rugby. Might turn the Tigers vs Broncos on.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

You can’t be serious

Nah. Regardless of the standard of reffing still a better game to watch than league.

 

[Elfster]

Should the Twiggies get more players in the Wallabies than the Tahs?

 

[todd4]

Tizzano is having an incredible season.

You'd think...

Each to his own. I find league quite boring most of the time. Definitely some good matches… the one out hit ups are monotonous…kick on the last… not my cup of tea.

 

[Equalizer]

Always a tough game against the Highlanders and it's what we expect from the battle. They are our doppelganger team. Tough, no holds barred, gritty and passionate.

A game that could.of gone either way but the Force grow horns at home and they use them. The forwards.like a p#ssed off ram just butting heads with the Landers.

Certainly this was a game of resolve.and passion.which was.tried and won through the forwards. Tizzano again pushing Wallabies selection with the Force's deadly rolling maul. Love the physicality but would.like to see an injection of backline ingenuity and wow factor..

Tizzano another big game and a.heart and soul.man of the Force.in the likes of Sharpe, Hodgson and Thrush.

Now Force fans we've been waiting a long time. We're up in the top 4.....hallelujah...Lets kick this season into overdrive and smash the home games here on in. We have earnt the respect.

LETS GO FORCE!

Vaiolini Ekuasi's ball-carrying is so dynamic and threatening. His work-rate, power, and footwork coming into contact is close to the best in Aussie Rugby at the moment. Shame he's not an Aussie.

 

[Shiggins]

So happy with that win. So many moments where the force stepped up. Tizzano, the answer really needs to start moving his way for wallabies and I'm a massive mcreight fan. His tackling has always been next to none. He just doesn't miss. And his footwork is becoming absolute class.

Jordy was terrible at many times in the game. To see the force win this one even with some absolute shocker calls in the ruck was great. The ruck was an absolute mess. Highlanders players cleaning way past it, diving on the ball in rucks and getting penalties awarded to them somehow, tabataba won a penalty and he said wasn't even on th ball Need to be better than the ref. There were 2 calls that could have been penalty trys in 2 minutes and there wasn't even a yellow.

To see the force fight back in the last 10 of the first half shows how good they are but it seems to be mainly at home. The defensive effort near the end of the game was pure class.

I agree. It has been a bit of a mess last few weeks. Force got the win and didn't let the ref dictate the win which was good

It’s completely monotonous. I always find it funny how the mungos love to complain about rugby’s rules etc but you see far more long range tries in rugby than their sport.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Outstanding from the boys in the second half tonight. Tizzano was absolutely immense, as were the rest of the pack as the game wore on. I thought we were dominating by the end and could have won by more.

Best Force win in some time.

Yeah Tizzano was unreal tonight.
Ref was far better than Doleman though.
