I know this is a forum for discussion but the comments here are not only ignorant but absolute BS.

There was a total of 21 players from the WF squad either injured or Covid positive.
The WF had done everything to provide a team including recruiting experienced players from East Coast teams (including Shute Shield).
Pre-season preparation included an additional 10 Club players added to the squad.
Covid has peaked in WA - in case you hadn't noticed.

All was still go until the final pre-flight RATS test (in accordance with SANZAAR protocols) when the last standing Super Rugby experienced Hooker (Andrew Ready) tested positive.
No other experienced starting Hooker was available.

The game will be rescheduled in accordance with Super Rugby procedures for this season.

Toughen up princesses!

Just wondering Rebels Man's opinion on Super W. Where the Rebels couldnt field a team against the Force. Or is this just an attack on the Force.

It's covid everyone is/has copped it. Victoria's worse was last year, this is WA's worst period. We all made allowances it doesn't end once Victoria is passed it.

Your right the Eagles did prop up their team to verse N Melbourne and what did we learn. Even N Melbourne can beat someone.

Rebels could always return Philip, Hardwick, RHP, Orr, Jooste or Kevin Foote to the Force if they want to boost stocks in the Force if it's such a travesty to the competition that the Force postpone 1 game.

Apologies to any other Rebels fans. Pretty frustrated as a fan to not be able to watch my team due to covid.

This is the 4th game Moana Pacifica has had to sit out. That is not good enough from a competition stand point.

It’s also very different comparing this to the amateur Super W.

Not sure how you get so upset at someone saying the competition has been poorly organised. At no point have I blamed the Force for the game getting postponed.

Point to where I said it was the fault of the Force or the players for getting sick?

There is a clear issue when we have no other option but mid week games and one side has been forced into three of them with only one being able to be made up in a bye week. There is a clear issue if a team lands in Melbourne and then gets told there is no game and to go home. SANZAR would have been aware that they were likely not to play and should have advised MP (Moana Pasifika) to wait.

Not sure how you take being critical of how the competition is organised as an attack on the Force. Maybe you need to take some of your own advice and toughen up.

So the Force play the Chiefs in Hamilton on Saturday 21st, Tuesday night against Moana in Auckland and then Saturday 28th in Perth against the Hurricanes.

Moana have the Reds on Friday 20th in Brisbane then the Brumbies in Auckland on Saturday 28th.

^ you'd like to think the 'canes match would get pushed back to the Sunday so WF get an extra day to recover from the extra match.

Then the Canes get a day less to prepare for their final.

The Force vs Highlanders is a huge game this weekend to determine that 8th spot. The Force pretty much have to win to get in. Then beating Moana would probably get them the 8th spot.

I am sure the Table Topping Auckland Blues - currently sitting at #1 on the league ladder - would far rather face the Force in the playoffs than some enraged Southern men suddenly with their dander up.

Let's see those Perth pricks try their mining helmet Valhalla bullshit at The Garden Where Dreams Go To Die.
