http://www.rugby365.com/article/52385-bulls-beat-negative-force South African media is amusing. Now... Force fans please shut up about the referee. It doesn't change the result, but it does reflect badly on us. South African fans please don't respond. It just becomes a whinge off. Better...

I quite like Stanley. Thought his touches against the Kings were good. Thought his kicking was good.

I think after the awful performance last week we might just be in with a chance. A small chance.

I think the law was introduced for two reasons. The first was to stop teams with a 1-7 point advantage from essentially killing play in the final 2-3 minutes of each half. Refs were finding a way to stop teams playing 'cynical' rugby (usually sealing off or off feet at ruck calls). Now they...

I want to crawl into a small space and die. Good game Kings.

I wondered about that. The Brumbies are into their renaissance and seem to be doing swimmingly. The Tahs are supposed to be the next thing since sliced bread with Michael Cheika. The Force are claiming that we are re-inventing ourselves. The Reds have too many star players to suck (although if...

Ick. Waratahs backs. No but seriously, are you saying that because you don't want to lose any Reds players or because you genuinely think the Tahs backline talent is going to waste? Or was that a joke on the Tahs? The only Tahs I'd be interested in are Tom Kingston, Peter Betham and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper). I...

Good luck to him but I think it will be a tough debut.

The Rebels are probably showing interest because Neville and Pyle haven't committed past this season and may be open to offers from elsewhere. Pretty sure all of the S15 clubs would be interested in Neville and Pyle. Simmons might not be so bad. There was a time early in his career that...

Brumbies by 12.5+.

If the Force don't absolutely blitz the Kings, we may as well cede our Super 15 franchise and let both the Lions and Kings in next year. We've have a game under our belts and are a far better team. The Kings have a little bit of talent but they aren't used to playing together and haven't...

Gut feeling is that was more the Force fucking up then the Rebels expertise. At least a handful were overthrows.

Not necessary. You could easily have three jumpers in the two locks + Ben McCalman. Matt Hodgson has been used as a jumper for the Force in the past.

Dreaming. I didn't think he was that bad playing for the Tahs, but I wouldn't have him starting over anyone who played last night. I also wouldn't judge him until he's at least played a game. Perhaps the overseas experiences will have done him some good. He might also be a better fit for the...

I was pretty happy with that performance. Godwin looked great. Shouldn't be a goal kicker but everything else was good. The Force backs played a lot better than they did last year. It would have been nice to have come away with a win and I can't help but feel the Force team played better than...

I was feeling quietly confident until I saw the starting line-up.

The Kings certainly aren't as shit as we thought they might be six months ago, but that isn't hard. The Force have the advantage that we will have a competitive game under our belts before we come up against the Kings. That would be a big difference with normal teams little own for a team...

I don't think we are bitter about JO'C. But now that he isn't one of us, we aren't prepared to overlook the really, really lame things he does. I think his hair is the case and point. I imagine Queenslanders will be the same if/when Quade leaves them.

Shit. Is he going to be ok to play next Friday? If not, it would be the third Force vs Rebels game he's missed since moving across. Force voodoo mayhaps?

You think? Gerrard is a dick. He fired a few pot shots at Deans and the Wallabies after he was overlooked for selection a couple of years back. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he posted something that he came to regret.
