Round 15 of 15: Force v Brumbies Sat 1st 7.35PM (AEST) @ HBF Park

[RebelYell]

Force haven't lost at home to an Australian team in 2 years?

 

[Shiggins]

Like last year.... I think not

I actually think teams should play their best sides leading into finals. Unless they are managing injuries which most players are

No, teams should manage their players workloads with an eye on the finals and the players wellfare.
The Brumbies will probably finish third. Looking after their players won't change that. Sure winning with a bonus point could change things but it still relies on other teams losing. By the time this game starts they will know exactly where they stand and what they need to do.

There's an old saying: don't flirt with your form, especially heading into the finals.

Amen mate. If it got you this far, be careful with adjusting it.

I disagree. Consistency and time is massive leading into the finals.

@RugbyReg my good friend what is your prediction for the game on Saturday?

 

[RugbyReg]

I don’t really do predictions. I expect the Brumbies to win.

 

[Shiggins]

For anyone who doesn't know the weather in Perth on Saturday isn't the normal Perth perfect rugby weather. 40mm predicted to come in at 9pm Saturday. Hope it holds off. If it's pack vs pack the force could be in a lot of bother. Rodda will need to have a blinder and be physical.

The round is themed Community Round, with a curtain-raiser between Associates and Kalamunda in the Rendezvous Scarborough Challenge Cup Final from 3pm.

Hopefully both sides decide to chuck the pill around a bit tonight, given that there’s nothing riding on the game.

 

[Tomikin]

Schoupp done... Wrist or shoulder and the green whistle out. Not good for the Brumbies or Wallabies

 

[Tomikin]

7As (Allan Ala'alatoa) in for the try, through the guts. We been playing alot of pick and drives in recent months and score alot when into the 22

 

[Tomikin]

Lonergan, Wright and Toole brilliant there. Specially Wright.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Wright’s in rare form right now

 

[Tomikin]

Refs blowing the pea out of it tonight

 

[Tomikin]

They put Hooper in 6 then get him packing at THL

 

[Aussie D]

Force finally get a deserved try after Lonergan gets a piece of cheese

 

[Tomikin]

Thought it was a fair card on reply, Lonergan was fine and was right on the ball.. so bullshit card

Totally fair, gave away a deliberate penalty with the Force hot on attack. Wish more refs would follow suit.
