NRC Final - Western Force v Canberra Vikings - UWA Sports Park - Saturday, 26 Oct - Noon (WST)

[Tomikin]

Harrison Lloyd and Angus Wagner going, literally, head to head is one of the tantalising battles to look forward to. Both will be in the opposite team next year.

Other great tussles will be Henry Stowers against Pete Samu, and Issak Fines against Lachlan Lonergan as both will be vying for the bench No 9 spot at the Brumbies next year.

Think it will be closer than their previous meeting, but with the injury toll at the Vikings, Force to win by less than one converted try.

Lachlan Lonergan musta shreddered a few KG's and got a better pass is he going to throw into the lineout from 9

Thought I was spelling Ryan but it came out that way.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Say what we will about Twiggy, he puts his money where his mouth is.

Twiggy is a superstar.

this is incredible by Twiggy and his crew:

Absolutely massive

Hopefully it’s a try feast.

If any captain elects to take the 3 on the penalty I expect the crowd to do the right thing and boo.

 

[Uh huh]

Scraps from the table.

 

[molman]

Great run from Hansen

 

[Uh huh]

Why oh why oh why do we always get Damon Murphy in crunch games? I just know I'm going to spend this afternoon getting angry.

 

[molman]

Missed opportunity by Force there

 

[molman]

Wright looking good.

0-3

Deegan looks good, but I think the Vikings are looking a little more threatening atm..

 

[molman]

Simone! .. shocker..

 

[Uh huh]

They'll need to be a lot more threatening. Murphy is a notorious homer. The crooked line out call was pretty bad.

 

[Uh huh]

Kick from Banks 85m and dead by about 5cm. Ugh.

 

[Uh huh]

Ikitau is putting in a Kuridrani-esque shift in defence here. That's two crucial turnovers inside the 22 now.

 

[molman]

oh boy...

... I think that should have been a pen. against Vikings for the maul. Looked like they have a player down/infringing in that maul?

 

[molman]

both teams lacking composure in attack at the moment... too many errors

 

[molman]

Well done Force.. going to one of your strengths... Vikings had been defending well..
