Could be a good chance of getting one over the Brumbies with two home games to come.

The way we travel I'd say the tahs and highlanders will be hard. Brums at home a better chance I'd say.

From an outsiders point of view, and blasphemous for me to say it being a force supporter, i reckon you guys have been the exciting prize packet of the Australian teams this year. The way your lads are playing the game is really quite fun to watch and me personally i don't think the lads are too far away from a few wins. There is a lot to look forward to with some of the young blokes stepping up. Gordon is gaining more and more confidence each week and controlling the game a lot more.

I don’t get why Force fans and Rebels fans aren’t meant to be able to get on. Obviously there was the drama when they were looking to cut a side.
But I have always wanted to see the Force do well

We were doing just fine until “the troubles” in 2017. It was RA that drove a wedge between us. I think we are slowly starting to get back to the friendly rivalry we used to enjoy.

I hate the Tahs, indifferent towards the reds and Brumbies but never hated the force

It actually needs to be a bit chummier, in a way. We are all in the larger contest together, a contest to survive (and hopefully thrive) as a minor code in this nation.

ANALYSIS: The Carter Gordon traits that make him a Wallaby bolter, and the one reason he's still a risk
Carter Gordon has been the most exciting flyhalf talent among the Australian teams so far this season and rightly finds himself in Eddie Jones’…

Good analysis of Carter Gordon.

1st half on Friday was great!
2nd half on Friday was a steamer!
Seems to be the story of the season, unfortunately. As a long-suffering Essendon/Rebels fan -- it's the hope that kills you.
On the positive side, Ekuasi's try was such a highlight reel moment. Kemeny absolutely folding Havili then Ekuasi catching the pill on the full and beating a surprisingly slow Mo'unga for the full length? Golden.

But next year there'll be another couple season ending injuries plus players leaving and we'll be stuck building off a dodgy foundation as always.

Agreed, but it's hard to have genuine rivalries when you're always hoping for an Aus team - any team - to win against NZ for once

I think that's fine as Rugby fans, but Super Rugby has zero tribalism, which is one of the main drivers of fan engagement

Tribalism works better with cross-town than cross-state teams. Even in AFL with places like Adelaide and Perth, the Showdowns / Derbies are the most popular.
