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

[kiap]

Force 100,000 - 3 Cbr

 

[Uh huh]

The Force are completely dominating the set piece but look clueless in open play. Maybe just finals jitters though.

Well played Miller

Set piece is killing the Vikings atm...

 

[molman]

Force not getting the payout for all their possession...

 

[Uh huh]

Force Swan diving over the ruck straight onto the turf and winning a penalty.

 

[molman]

[kiap]

Another lost 100k

?? 100k?

 

[Uh huh]

The only mob out there more useless than the Vikings forwards are the Force backs.

 

[molman]

7 - 3 to the Force

 

[kiap]

?? 100k?

$100,000 to children's Hospital per Force try.

$25,000 per Viking try

Donations from Andrew Forrest

 

[Uh huh]

?? 100k?

Forrest is rationing donations from his tax-payer funded fortune to a charity (the kind that wouldn't need to exist if billionaires didn't) on the basis of how many tries the Force score.

I think Deegan is having an ok game, but the rest.. yeah. The Vikings forwards are mixed. Some good defensive work at times and then asleep at the wheel at others.

Ah!... missed that.

 

[Shaker]

Not a huge fan of the Force loosehead scrummaging at 45 degree angles, tough to counter that. Only seen the last 10 minutes but Vikings looked cooked. Force making all the metres with the ball.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Vikings are doing whatever they can to lose. Poor skills when in possession.

Fines is so far superior to Ryan Lonergan, he should have the Brumbies bench No 9 spot next year.

Harry Lloyd is smashing Angus Wagner in the scrums.

 

[molman]

Those handling errors really killing the Force... Vikings finding holes with line breaks... Second half will be interesting. Anyones game... bench going to be important.

 

[Uh huh]

What a shame Banks couldn't finish off after splashing Jonah Placid all over the pitch. Would've looked great on the highlight reel.

We must be watching different games. Lonergan has created almost every linebreak for the Vikings so far. Fines has been putting the ball on Deegan's bootlaces and just dropped the ball cold over the line.
