NRC Rnd 5 - NSW Country Eagles v Western Force - Port Macquarie - Sat 29 Sept - 3PM EST

No 3 v No 1.

These stats are quite telling:

Tries: WF 27 - NSWC 21
Penalties Conceded: WF 32 - NSWC 51
Yellow Cards: WF 1 - NSWC 4

Can the Western Force make it 5 from 5?

FORCE BOLSTER ATTACKING OPTIONS

September 26, 2019
The Western Force lead all teams in try-scoring, touching down 27 times in four rounds of the National Rugby Championship, and are looking for more after bolstering their attacking arsenal with excitement machine Jack McGregor and former Australian Sevens representative Pama Fou added to the match-day squad to tackle NSW Country Eagles in Port Macquarie on Sunday.

Didn't realise this was an H-L Shield match.

Tough road to get the Force name engraved on that thing - will require an undefeated regular season.

Eagles eye opportunity to blunt Force momentum

September 27, 2019

NSW Country head coach Rob Taylor expects his side to front up defensively when they take on a fast-scoring, undefeated Western Force team in Port Macquarie this weekend. Sitting third on the ladder, the Eagles will be aiming to extricate themselves from the log-jam of teams around them in order to grab a finals berth.

Hitting a player from behind in the back could have lead to a spinal injury very stupid
