So you liked us when you thought you could beat us every time. Now we are looking like a genuine threat you like us less.
Hate to break it to you champ, but on the Red's current trajectory there are probably a few more teams that will be coming off your favourites list.

I will be at the game for my first time at NIB - any tips from the force faithful?

Don't wear a Tahs jersey
Aside from that the viewing is pretty good everywhere, particularly in the new stands. Atmosphere is good, weather will be warm, beer will be cold. Although you will be drinking mid strength unless your in the top tier member category or in a corporate box.
Also remember to cheer when the Force score, you'll fit in nicely!

I predict this game will be pretty brutal between the two packs. Hoping NIB stadium gets packed out to watch this one, should be a cracker full of scoring. I'm not as confident this week because NSW are half decent unlike the Reds. IF we Win this week, the Finals won't seem like a dream for the Force
I reckon it will be a much lower scoring encounter than the first game.
The forward battle will be epic. If the Tahs maintain the intensity they had in Africa they should get on top their though.
What the bye does to the Force will be interesting. Sides often start a little slowly after the bye. The Tahs will be a bit sore from two very physical games in Africa though.

the bye was before the Reds game and it didnt make much difference to the way we played.

Even though we played the Reds last week I guess you could call that a bye....if that's what your angling at?
Let's call it a brain explosion.
How about that Force vs Waratahs game! Should be a cracker

Don't make me start up the Folau "on the spot" discussion. I also think the game will be lower scoring. I mean how many times can you score try's from balls bouncing off goal posts.....please! I also don't see
Matt Carraro running through the Force defence this time either.

The Force are certainly going to have to be more up in the face of the Tahs backline than they were at the start of the season. The Sharks and the Brumbies showed that you have to put immense pressure on Phipps, Foley and Beale to shut down opportunities wider out.
If that happens, the Tahs need to adjust their game like they did against the Stormers and take smarter options. Otherwise they just transfer pressure and get themselves into more trouble out wide.
13 will be interesting for the Force in terms of whether Brache keeps his spot or someone new comes in. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) has been in really good form and the Tahs will be looking for him to take advantage of a potential mismatch.
I think the backrows will be largely even but the Tahs should be able to get on top in the tight 5. If the Force can hold them there it should be a really close game. Certainly the Tahs need to serve up a really physical game again and see whether the Force tight five can stick with them.

I see public transport is included - we don't have public transport to Tahs games at the SFS!!
What public transport does one get - staying in the city

Best to jump on the train in the city and get off at claisebrook (2 stops) and then it's about a 300m walk.

Best advice is to get the preparations right. Spend the day before at Feral Brewery in the Swan Valley, and head on out to Freo and go to the Little Creatures Brewery as part of Match Day preparations. Great beers and foot in their restaurant. This will have you arrive at the venue in good fettle. Jump on the Train at Freo to get back to the stadium in time.
If time is tight, someone will video Junior Shoulders curtain raiser for you, while you enjoy some of WA's finest brews and produce.
