Are you sure that isn't just from being a Rebels supporter? Buttock desensitisation sounds like something that would be very common amongst you mob.

Or when Meehan revolutionized the Force's attack in 2013?

Better to leave that there guys. It was a good game and both teams put in a fairly good account of themselves. Test rugby is irrelevant right now.

I thought the scrums were pretty equal all night. Far and away our best scrum performance this year. Which is funny because I reckon the Brumbies have the best tight five of any of the teams we have played against.

Good game Brumbies. I reckon we deserved a bonus point there but ahh well. Impressed with the civility of the game thread too.

I didn't like that decision. :(

That half was better for the Force than I expected. What can you expect against a Wallaby backline? Sio and Vaea have been great for the Brumbies. I really like the ref. Think he is doing a good job. Our set piece is holding up a lot better than last week. Hope we don't fall away in the second half.

They aren't an excuse either. Injuries can account for a loss. They can't necessarily account for the manner of the loss. The games against the Reds and Hurricanes were poor on too many levels to blame injury. At least against the Hurricanes we were outclassed rather than out-enthused.

No you won't. If you jinx him and subsequently lose, we'll be too happy to remember anything like that. I'd have preferred Nic White to Will Genia in recent times. Genia's attitude seems a bit fucked at the moment and we knew he was going ages ago. I feel like we could have kept Nic White in...

A team is always in for an ambush the week after their opponents get embarrassed (see Waratahs and Reds in Round 2). I think we will get blown away but the 5:1 odds against the Force say that we are in with a shot.... If the wheels fall off the wagon and the horse (Brumby) bolts.

Good rant Lee. I think it is great this new system. It sits in especially well with the new NRC. In WA I think we had 8 of our 2014 U20s play in the NRC. I also think it will help keep some players from going to league as well. In WA we have lost a lot of promising juniors (Curtis Rona for...

I agree Lee. The persecution complex that every west australian has is going off at the moment. Bit of a shame a couple of good WA boys like Oscar Backhouse were ruled out before the tournament. Reckon he'd have made the aussie team.

Joe Savage. I have to say, if there is one thing I am disappointed with with Foley it is prop recruitment. I know there aren't a whole heap of Super Rugby quality props out there but I still think we could have done better. I am confident Hoskins will be great, but he won't be ready to be a...

The Sail and Anchor should also have it on (there isn't much to compete with at the moment). Good beers there too.

Which one was your son?

I'd struggle to name the third string and lower props for the Force in 2007. Back in 2007 depth was paper thin (as it is now) because of the introduction of the Force. Any of the teams third string or lower props would have been light years off being Super quality and probably never would be. I...

We were a bit fortunate there. ACT had to play arguably their most important game two days after playing the next most important one. I wonder how the two teams would have gone if the opening game was WA vs ACT.

I think we'll see the same as last year: Very strong forward pack but less of the razzle dazzle in the backs than the NSW and QLD teams.

Thanks for the heads up. After Saturday it looks like we need to try to bring in a prop pronto. Joe Savage plays locally and used to play for one of the NZ teams (Chiefs I think). I heard he didn't want to play Super Rugby anymore for family reasons (too much travel).

Thats unfair. We played on a drenched field. The Highlanders have a roof. Makes a huge difference. Explains all the kicking and the fucked situation that was the scrums.
