Force v Rebels - 2011R07

[cyclopath]

The first time, I laughed. Then he did it again, and it wasn't so funny, more of a "WTF is he thinking...".

Good tussle, this. O'Connor vs Cipriani is a key battle, Rebels possesion streak towards the end of the half giving Cips the chance to pin the Force down their own end.

This game, from a viewers perspective, is 5 times more enjoyable than the Tahs vs Chiefs game.

I am at least 50% more pissed than last night, but I am 75% sure this is at least 1000% more enjoyable to watch.

Yeah, ACTC, that was a shocker. Joubert was let down by his idiot on the sideline. The fact that he took 5-10 seconds to answer when Joubert asked "Is it a YC offence?" should have given Joubert some doubt. I mean, surely that was something they could see in real time? The fact Smith bounced straight back up suggested that it was nowhere near his head, at the very least.

I'm sure the touchy said no first when Joubert asked if it was a YC offence then changed his mind. Fools.

Another bone rattler from Stirlo on Smith at full speed. Good to see the old man still has it.

 

[cyclopath]

Hugh Pyle intercepts and goes 40m to score under the sticks. Deserved for a good effort all game.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Pile having a great game.

 

[cyclopath]

Now Pyle steals a lineout throw 5m out from Force line.
And Cipriani out-Quades Quade with an inspired cross kick!!!! Try in corner.

Brilliant between Cips and Kingi

Rebels doing all the attack

 

[James Buchanan]

Rebs have their tails up. I'd back them to win from here.

Does Huxley not know how to wear a shirt and tie properly.....

Plenty of time to go, but the Force aren't going to win this employing the midfield bomb game

 

[ACT Crusader]

Right on cue, Rabbit decides to take on the line and gives a nice inside pass to Smith who makes plenty of metres.

 

[cyclopath]

Super inside pass from JO'C to Smith who ran out of support. Force hard on attack get the penalty.

Caarn the Force

Hugh Pyle having a stormer, has leapfrogged Douglas and Simmons on one showing to be in the squad for the wallabies come RWC time.

Force need to get JOC (James O'Connor) and Smith on the ball more like they just did.

Lachlan Mitchell still looks really average to me, was never that impressive at Wasps and I'm surprised AFU and Beetham haven't started over him.

 

[ACT Crusader]

Now Force doing the attacking. Sharpie knocks on and its hands on knees for the boys in blue

 

[ACT Crusader]

Take a bow Wykes after a good return from Shep.

Force try and its all on in the West

 

[cyclopath]

Wykes straight up the guts, offload to Sidey, in under the posts!! Force back in it.

 

[cyclopath]

How do you type so fast ACTC? Are you a computer hacker??

 

[dobduff11]

Wykes has played well every game this season and a storming run there.

Wallabies Second Row: 4. Wykes 5.Pyle

 

[inthestands]

West Harbour boys combining for Sidey try. Soft.
