Super Rugby Rnd 1: Brumbies v Force

[Tomikin]

Beautiful try Brumbies

 

[Equalizer]

Force need to take their opportunities. Had plenty of ball. Dont like the ball being thrown at the Force player after the Brumbies try.

Shouldn't have lead with his knees once the player had scored..

 

[SteveWA]

Except he didn’t

 

[Marce]

There's sooooo much more to do in Canberra than be at the rugby!

As see wild horses?

 

[Wilson]

Good play from the Force, even better d from the Brumbies

 

[Derpus]

Great little play from the Force there, very unlucky not to get a meat pie.

Shame about the new dropout rule punishing them for coming within inches....

 

[Wilson]

White making an absolute pest of himself

 

[SteveWA]

Apparently forearms to the head are now allowed

 

[The Nomad]

Nick White really does give you lots of reasons not to like him ……

Western Force looking good with ball in hand.

Supporting your body weight looks to be optional today.

 

[SteveWA]

Supporting your body wait looks to be optional today.

Wray is having a shocker in the rucks. Pity it is only going one way at the moment.

Yep, very different ruck officiating to last night.

So is throwing it in 5m

Be interesting to see a replay of the incident that cause Keunzel to go off.

I don't understand scrum penalties like that.

When a scrum collapses or is incomplete, I understand when there is a penalty.

When two sides compete and the ball comes spurting out the back as a result of the Brumbies pressure, surely it's play on? The purpose of the scrum is a challenge to reset the ball, and that happened. The challenge meant it was sloppy ball for the Force, and they are under pressure.

 

[Equalizer]

Nothing in this game. If the Force were a bit more clinical they could be in front. Like the defence and they are competing like mongrels. Good signs considering it's the first game. Keep it going Force.

 

[Micheal]

Pretty good game so far in my opinion. A real arm wrestle.

I'm impressed Pasitoa. Looks composed and has a good eye for opportunity, without overplaying his hand and wanting to be the belle of the ball (like Gordon did so yesterday).

Having watched every game this weekend, I'd rank the 10s as such:

1. Pasitoa
2. Donaldson
3. Lolesio
4. JOC (James O'Connor)
5. Gordon

Also a big fan of this Force hooker, and Len Ikatau continues to be excellent.
