Force v Waratahs, R9 2016

[Moono75]

Congratulations to Tet Faulkner bringing up 50 caps for the Force. A balmy 29 degrees tipped for Saturday should make for a sensational afternoon of Rugb..............mmmmmm beer!

 

[Quick Hands]

Michael Foley has always been kryptonite to the Tahs.
Force to win ugly again..

Expect the Force to target the Waratah scrum and turn every breakdown into a Greco-Roman wrestle.

The Hoff has the whistle.

If this thread was a racetrack, it would officially be rated as 'Dead'.

I can understand that Tahs supporters are....mmmmm how do you say it......"shitting" themselves over this game. Liking it to the equivalent of sporting global warming, bringing about a calamitous end to their super rugby life on this planet as we know it.

The Force meanwhile and prowling the streets calling on all Tah's supporters to "bring out your dead".

Saturday.......5.45 WST......the bell tolls for you NSW

I have managed to not get to NIB for the last couple of wins (don't ask me how) and this week have to go to a wedding in Joondalup so chalk this one up to another Force win.

Expect the Waratahs to defend against the Force's attack and turn the game into a boring slugfest.

Come on Tahs just slip off a few tackles and allow a few linebreaks so we can have a free flowing game. Kurtley can lead the way!

Just like they play EVERY OTHER game.

The Australian is reporting that the Tahs are going to abandon ball in hand for a territory game plan. Hooper calls it "test match" rugby. Will be more entertaining than watching them do 30 knockons.

Wow that sounds tremendous and what a great advertisement for our game it will be.

 

[RugbyReg]

I'm calling the double bluff. You don't play Beale and Izzy in the centres together and just play territory.

Or if you do it's a major admission as to your own team's inadequacies.

A Force fan going the early crow?
I know it's only the Tahs, but fuck me, when you have to bore other teams to death to win,I'd be humble before & grateful after.
But that's me

A bit of colour commentary to try and generate some interest in this game. Tahs fans have a bad run and they go missing on here all of a sudden. We're on an 11 year bad run but hey we're still showing up

Our season is pretty much done so the interest for us in seeing the WA club players come through and see how they fair.

 

[brokendown]

if they don't belt us by 20,it will be a sad state for NSW rugby

 

[galumay]

If most of the other aussie derbies this season are any indication then we will be into a dire game regardless of who doesnt lose.

 

[Lee Grant]

Good banter guys - as I have said the last three times - the Tahs should win this.

I'm afraid you're living in mirror-world there. The Tahs will blitz the Force, led by Beale.

 

[Brumby Runner]

And I expect Foley to be a monster too (as he hides on the wing).

 

[Froggy]

Tahs by plenty, go the TAHS!!!!

Hooper doesn't need to play "Test" rugby for the Tahs , he just needs to be on the ball and get into the tough stuff.

Isn't it. In spite of what some people over East think of the Force and their opinion that we don't have enough depth for five teams, we keep bringing young talent through our club system. I can't see how this can be a bad thing.

I should also point out that Rusty played for OZ U/20's as well.

I have enough challenge keeping up with the club and school talent in Qld, and at least there the fans are shouting it loud if you choose to listen. And there is a club match streamed each weekend on the Reds home site. These things dont need much support for the true fans to take notice.

I think talent coming through the ranks in Perth is just fabulous. Hope Scoble gets a go and will be watching closely.

This is an interesting match for many reasons, unfortunately an expectation of scintilating rugby isnt one of them.

Throw Michael Foley in as opposition coach into that mix and we may be in for a very frustrating evening.
