Force backline in sweeping play looking good. In one out close to the ruck play looking rubbish.

Good ploy for the Force to go early, we really don't want to be pushing on our own ball in the 22.

Blood

Canes making an inspired decision to leave a few starters out. These squad players are up for this and an ambush was the Forces best hope for a win.

Hurricanes making ad line easily. Force being monstered behind the ad line. Concerning early.

It's messy, that's what it is. It's discriminatory to the White players who deserve to get picked but don't, balanced by the advantage they get by having greater opportunity to develop.

Oh I was, no confusion about that.

Ssshhh, we need all the help we can get.

If this rugby gig doesn't work out for Captain Neck Beard, he can always give living with the Amish a go. They would defo appreciate his style. In all seriousness, I think some people on here are being too hard on JOC (James O'Connor). We know he's not a 10, but at least he looked like creating opportunity when...

I once accidentally downloaded a Lumineers track. Had to throw awAy my whole computer

Anyone know the details behind this?

What's that guys name? Genuinely don't know it. No Loig in WA.

And the real issue is the work rate lock should be Simmons if he is an automatic pick. He just isn't effective enough to be our enforcer. I think this is the crux of why our locking pairs are so unbalanced.

I would be keeping Frisby at 10, Turner at 15 and slip JOC (James O'Connor) in to start at 14. JOC (James O'Connor)'s biggest strength is his ability to sniff out a try close to the line. While he looked good running it back while playing 15 up north, I don't think it is as easy to beat defences in Super Rugby by going around...

This game gives me nightmares. It always throws me back to 2012 when the Canes had a few injuries and were on their way back from Africa. I remember thinking the Force were a good chance and then they dismantled us 19-46. If we are to win this, we need to make it nasty and not let the ball...

If so, I can understand game day testing. But used recreationally 4 months out of competition?

It still amazes me how much control is trying to be exerted over a non performance enhancing drug. Putting aside the health risks, which are up to the individual to decide if taking the drugs is worth the risk, it seems WADA having control over recreational drugs as well is them over stepping...

With Pek back this week, we should hopefully find some rhythm again. How much did they pay Hunt, but let Longbottom slip overseas where the Poms are thinking about capping him. ;(

While it bodes well for K the more players that are implicated, it bodes less well for Rugby if those players implicated are Rugby players. Imagine if half of the Reds team was implicated! Don't think they will be, but these are the stakes we are playing with here.

I suspect with the Reds flying out to NZ to face the Landers, they wil leave him home so he can "prepare his case" for the following week. Which is a shame, the Students in the Zoo section of Forsyth Barr normally have some pretty good signs and I'd think K would come in for some attention if...
