Placid has a lot of speed. It is the only thing I rate about him but for some reason he is in first gear tonight.

A lot off offside from the reds. The ref has to be getting impatient

Fook. It would be nice just for the sake of novelty to have the Ames starting team take Tale the field. Well looking at the warm-up we look more switched on than they do. I hope that comes on to the field

My pre-match prediction: The team sheet to prove once again to be an exercise in creative writing with three pre-match injuries forcing them to pull oztimmy out of the stands as a sub. Oztimmy agrees on condition that he can have a full strength beer on the side line. Oz Timmy makes a match...

Really hard to see how this will go. Force had a couple of good trials to test the squad. Not much insight to the Rebels trials. On paper I would give it to the Rebels but Rugby is now a game of inches and attitude so I think it will come down to mindset. If either team goes in cocky the other...

I don't think we have learned anything from our trials. Tonight was more of a training run. I worry we will be underdone for the real thing.

+1 to this. Locks are a weak or for us. I see Jones as a 6 and Timani as an 8. We care a bit short at centre too as we found when we lost Ellison last year. The Squad could shave off a few 7s. They have all shown that they can compete at soup level and a few dominate it at times but do we...

Yes the beanie. I would go for a beanie, pass and fridge magnet. The kids do like decorating their cars with the stickers though. Not quite the the creativity of Mrs Daz but still...

I got my membership pack today. I like this years scarf. Hat is all blue which is a bit dull but I have quite a few to choose between now. The pouch to hold the membership card on the lanyard was a failure. It only just fit the card so the card blocks the slot and I cannot get the clip of the...

Any pub playing the match will have more Kiwis in it than Aussies. There are more of them here than in New Zealand.

Where on the field?

Wish I had seen that before I arrived. I could have putthe entry free behind the barok instead

Fair call. We had our chances but on balance bros city were better. It will be a good season for our boys. I feel the next tier of players will learn much more now our depth can be tested

Rising scrum really turned it around in the second half but we keep knocking on 5m from the line. If we can get one I feel one or two more will come. Thisis looking a lot like the rebels highlanders preseason last year.

Rising doing everything but scoring. Could get tight at the end here

Sorry Daz. I will be there much later. You will recognise me as the bloke in tracky daks and fleece and definitely with a beer in hand. Not up to the snappy dress standards but what Can you expect from the unwashed masses in GA at every game.

I would avoid the hockey ground today. They are hosting final from early in the day. Parking will be very limited there. I will walk from home I think. It's only acouple of hours. I Wil think of it as pre walking off the beers. It should involve less staggering and random stops behind trees...

Has anybody else noticed our passing went to s**t right after Todd Louden left?

I dunno. I don't think they can do much less so building is all you can do. Force fans, I take my hat off to you. If that is what foleybhasbplanned for you all season then you must be the most devoted fans in the world to keep comming back weekbaftwr week. Rebels could have been better tonight...

Well that was as frustrating as the lions game. I don't think the force deserves to win but we lost it in our passing. Too slow too loopy and apart from the short ball inside too predictable.
