NRC Rnd 7: Sydney v Western Force - Woollahra Oval - Saturday, 12 Oct - Noon (EDST)

Some necessary changes following last week's game against Brisbane.

Good mix including payers from the broader squad as well as local club rugby.

Half time Sydney 7 - Force 26. Sydney going better than the scoreline indicates but Fines/Deegan are almost untouchable for the Force.

Still don't know what others see in Donaldson. Very ordinary at 10 while Harrison is very impressive. Swap them for a more effective setup.

27-6 HT

Solid 1st half from the Force - Fines, Fou, Deegan, Placid and co great with ball

Scrum went backwards early but recovered.

Harrison good for Sydney.

The fake turf is an abomination. Be better off playing on the golf course next door

Damn forgot about this game, was looking forward to one of those burgers.

Yeah the fake grass is absolutely shocking. What were they thinking?

The commentary from the NSW duo on the RA livestream is tiresome to the extreme.

^^^^

Very off putting. Amongst other howlers, they announced with about 10 minutes to go that Deegan had been signed by the Rebels. Consistently way behind the game or wrong names for players.

Well done lads.

Sydney Rays 33:57 Western Force

Top of the ladder after the regular season.

Home semi-final next week.

The players actually like it and it allows a lot more usage. You’re going to have a lot of whinging to do as it gets more widely implemented.

Semi-final in Perth next week.

Western Force v Brisbane City at Noon giving everybody a chance to make the Wallabies v England game at 3:45 PM.

Excellent scheduling.

Some ripping tries from both teams in these highlights.
