The Force essentially whilst not in contention for the finals are playing for Sharpie & that can lift teams when a player is playing their last game. The Force have beaten us before (albeit at their home ground) & I may add that defeat was when the Saders were IMO more menacing than we have been this year. Although there doesn't seem to be as much fan fare surrounding that victory (unlike the Rebels game this year).

That being said I still see my team winning this one but perhaps it might be closer than people think.

That is not a great Force team, though.

Pocock, their best player, is out. Hodgson, one of their top players, is out. Wykes is also missing.

I hope the Force can get the ball to their back three a bit more, as they are probably the main danger for the Force.

The problem is the Force midfield. Sorry, but it's pants.

off the top of my head this is who is missing who would be in the match day 22:

1.Maafu
2.
3.Longbottom
4.Wykes
5.Battye
6.Hodgson
7.Pocock
8.McCalmam
9.Turner
10.Stannard
11.Wara
12.Stanley
13.
14.Rapana
15.Sheppard

Not a bad injury list.

All that is missing is a Hooker (whittiker has been out all year bar this tour) and a 13 (tupou injured all bar last 4 games) and you would have a very good starting team.

Force best player period is Sharpie. Do it for Sharpie......only motivation you need. Your best player in the history of the club, your captain, most capped force player, most capped super rugby player, great wallaby....what more do you need.

Are they playing with the gold jersey?

I honestly don't know why they diverted from traditional WA colours and went blue.......

would probably be fitting. Black and gold traditional but have been given the arse in recent years. How good would it be if they ran out in the Black and Gold jersey......that would be awesome! Slim you have a new job as Force gee up man!

A bit of fog action in tonights game.

Crusaders looking good real early but that was not a try. Dagg lost control. For all anger please direct to the TMO peeps. Beautiful kick from Carter right on the side line.

How was that a try. Dagg clearly dropped the ball. Seems like the last 2 weeks there's a ripper of a competition for the worst TMO decision of the season.

Excellent counter rucking by the Saders. Happy to see Tom Donnelly out there again. Good defence coming in from Hodgeson (at 7?).

I thought for a second there Cummins was shaping to put the Assistant Ref away on the outside.
