SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) Round 1 25/02/23 Force v Rebels

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Second half massively better from us

 

[Scooter]

Was there a hint of a knock on by Callan at the break down before the ball went to Ili?

 

[qwerty51]

Right then. This is some comeback. Rebels scored 3 points the whole half.

How bloody good

 

[GaffaCHinO]

We lose that game last year super comeback in the second half.

 

[Equalizer]

Thrush what a frigging legend.

 

[Scooter]

Happy at half time. Shattered now. Going to be another long season. I wonder who will be coaching the Rebels when Taniela Tupou joins us.

 

[Scooter]

Yet another Force v Rebels match decided by 7 or less points.

Thrush what a frigging legend.

What is he, fifty?!

Greybeard still going strong!

 

[D-Box]

For those interested Eloff is here and now running at the end of game.

It's difficult to overstate how much of a difference swapping halfbacks made for the Force. Absolute night and day.

The Force bench was really good - the hooker was everywhere.

Did FF (Folau Fainga'a) play?

Late scratching, Kaitu'u started instead.

 

[Equalizer]

Gutsy effort by the Force with multiple players out at game time. Did.eveything they needed.to come back and win. Did I say Thrush....Legend!

 

[Equalizer]

Did FF (Folau Fainga'a) (Folau Fainga'a) play?

No he didnt

Thank you for answering the call Jeremy Thrush.
You are an absolute warrior.
Just one more battle........................
Well done big bloke.
Big win for the younger members of the team.
Congratulations Simon Cron - squad well prepared for all eventualities - including getting Murphy for your first match.

Force played all the rugby. Rebels had an intercept try and another from a poor kick receipt. Didn't ever look like doing much with the ball. rebels (ex force Hardwick) was so good over the ball which kept them in the game.
No idea how faamasili didn't get carded for that swing arm/shoulder. The commentators are high to think that was ok. He has clearly beaten and threw the shoulder and arm out.

The Force bench was really good - the hooker was everywhere.

Tom Horton - ex Waratah who had a 5 game stint at Leicester.
Came in to replace Jack Winchester after the eos Japan trip.
He did a good job as a last minute replacement.

I can’t see a single member making even a Wallabies squad.

Don't really care as long as we have a winning SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) side.

Bailey kunzuel (butcher that didn't I) is a good footy player. Last year he really stepped up and this year could be a bit of a break out. Never know. Could be a wallaby by the next world cup
