Jeremy Thrush as Captain against the Brumbies.
Nick Frisby in for injured Ian Prior.
Sheminant in for the injured Holmes.
Taefu getting a start.
Jooste having a rest.
Pleased to see Richard Kahui in the mix.

 

[Wilson]

Very keen to see how Nick Frost goes with the start, thought he showed heaps of potential at the U20s last year.

 

[TheNorth]

Feel sorry for Nick Jooste...I though he had played alright the last few games.

Is he injured?

 

[Rugbylife]

Taefu been a consistent start for the forve since he arrived so no surprise there.

Can’t wait to see kahui have a fun and Tom Sheminant off the bench

 

[Derpus]

Weird that the Brumbies have dropped Cusack and Muirhead - their two best last weekend.

Is this Nick Frosts first game?

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Leichadt oval up the road for me so may have a look assuming get tickets at the ground

Good to see Kata back, even though it's at the expense of Muirhead who's played great in recent matches.........

Surprised not to see either Swain or Cusack - injuries?

But three locks in the squad! What a concept..........

 

[Forcefield]

I hope the Brumbies scrum and line-out functions like last weekend, but I fear not and fear we are in for a belting.

I don't think the lineout will fare as bad, but let's see how Frost goes in the second row.........

Their scrum issues seem to stem from behind the front row, and I reckon Neville has been a big loss overall for their set piece.

The Brumbies havent hit their stride and the Force have exceeded expectations. Im not expecting a belting.

Enjoying this "Rivalries Reignite" series.

Took a little to work out how to get tickets but looked at western force website and found tickets for force vs brumbies game through ticketmaster - got 2 tickets for $25 each - woo hoo so mate and I going to watch as just 5 minutes from my house.

Leichardt oval good to watch rugby at as close to the action....

Hmm did not check weather forecast - oh well will make sure take rain gear but I am also getting out and watching super rugby au games as us rusted on need to get behind this (including you force supporters)

Prior's loss will be hard for the Force to cover, and otoh Brumbies welcome back a match winner in Kata.

Set play will again be the Brumbies weak point. But hopefully better towards the end of the match when Hyne comes on rather than having to switch Valetini to the second row.

Brumbies by 10 if not too wet.

 

[ForceFan]

Well said KB (Kurtley Beale)......

 

[Equalizer]

Need another giant game from Stander and excited to see how Kahui fits into the team. His experience will bring added confidence.
