Genia Cooper Ioane Giteau AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) JOC (James O'Connor) Beale That is our best backline with Mitchell out, and what I want to see at the world cup. We can have a play with Cummins, Shepherd, Morohan, etc but make sure the strongest backline gets lots of time together.

I think what we are seeing, particularly in Australia, is how a quality coach can make a side. Consider that the Brumbies had one of the best lists out there, but are floundering. The Tahs looked at the start of the season to easily have the Oz conference, but they are struggling. The Reds on...

Not all Force fans whinge! But I can if you want me to :p

Brett's boot was MoM for the Rebels. He kept them in it for most of the game. But since I cant give it to him... 3 Delve 2 Pyle 1 Mitchell

He can call the lineout though cant he. If not as well as Sharpe. How is Hand going with the Brumbies lineout? Ive been overseas and havent had a chance to watch too much this year. But I agree, Sharpe is vital to the team, as he is a real lineout leader.

Id suggest Pocock or Sharpe is the most important player. Sharpe is the only player who could run the lineout last year (Horwill is back at least now, but he is broken 805 of the time). Pocock is such a machine that we need him on the field. Beale, Barnes, Giteau and JOC (James O'Connor) could all cover for...

Anyone have anything more concrete on this O'Connor rumour. All I had heard was that he was going to check out Melbourne before making a call. I hope he stays in Perth, and that the Force are throwing money at him to do so. Otherwise, it might be good to have a look at some of the Brumby...

JOC (James O'Connor) for me has to be in the starting team. He has proved he can take pressure kicks. He was probably the best winger in the world at the end of last season (I think he was much better than Mitchell and Mitchell was probably second best). He is very quick. He can side step, he has a big boot, he...

Does no-one consider JOC (James O'Connor) an automatic pick? For me he has to be in the team. Where is just the issue.

Is Horwill an automatic pick at the moment? When in form he is, but he has been crocked so much this last season that we need to see him back in form before getting the call up. I dont think he has played internationals for over 12 months, and his mate Simmons has started to make the other...

Its all falling into place. Pie man is kept on the bench until late in the game. Then he can run on with 15 to go, and get in position for the winning field goal.

When used at the right time - at the end of say the 2003 world cup, or the 1995 world cup, or against the Stormers, they are very important in promotion of the game. It captures the passions of the team for winning. I would have liked them to show how the Force reacted after that drop goal -...

Giteau has been an excellent player. But he is a shadow of what he used to be. Im hoping its a confidence thing, and so when his confidence returns he will once again be world class. When playing at his best, he is one of the best 12s around, and the way he directed the Force around in 2009...

It would be nice. But I dont want to see players burned out after a world cup and then tours straight afterwards. That is (hopefully) 7 world cup games followed by 4 tour matches, on top of 6 3N matches and warm ups? We could get to almost 20 test matches as well as the extended super season.

Because he is high profile. He is very well paid to be in the public spotlight. He is one of the more recognisable faces of the Force. It happens when CEOs muck about - consider the case against the David Jones CEO for sexual harrassment last year. He lost his job over that. I think he has...

I hope so. I dont know much about Hocking's injury. like I said, thought it was a niggle but cant confirm that. And no idea what is happening to shep.

I want to see us roll those c**ts! For me, Id like to see a Force team of: 1. Pek Cowan 2. Nathan Charles 3. Tim Fairbrother 4. Tom Hocking 5. Sam Wykes 6. Matt Hodgson 7. David Pocock 8. Ben McCalman 9. Brett Sheehan 10. Willie Ripia 11. Nick Cummins 12. James O'Connor 13...

Western Force hooker Nathan Charles is a young professional sportsman at the peak of fitness, with a long career ahead of him and at the top of his chosen sport. Already a Force fixture after just one season in one of the sport's hardest and most physically demanding positions, he was called...

Has anyone got a list of the U20s team? I had a feeling Justin Turner was in that as well, and he has already debuted for the Force last year, but is out for this season with injury.
