Good to see that the team's already in Napier.
Greg Holmes seems to be getting younger and enjoying playing more every game.

Boys are smiling, is it because they think they will give Canes pack a hiding or is it the thought of a bit of Pinot Noir from the area?
This has got the makings of a good game, I still think the Force have the game style to f*** some of our teams, they tend to rip into it. I have a feeling that Thrush may just get stuck right into our forwards and those other boys might just go yehaa and foloow. I actually don't think there much wrong with Force backline, they get a bit of decent ball there a few exoerienced heads may know how to make our backs get a bit uncomfortable.

They have to believe that they have a chance against the Canes.
I reckon that it's more likely one of the Gimlett Gravels Merlots as I prefer the Central Otago Pinot Noirs. :)

Yeh been lot of analysis saying force style of game better to stop kiwi running rampant - let’s hope those pundits of the game saying that are correct and Force continue to give kiwi teams good contests.

I really believe they have the style of game that can stuff some of our teams up RN, very conbative style, why I think they did better almost than their line up suggests they would.

Good looking Force team. Miotti back starting at 10 where he should of been after combining well with Cubelli to steer the Force into the SRAU finals. Don't break up a winning combo! TK on the bench will add a bit of second half grunt, but the biggest return is Thrush who just adds unbridaled enthusiasm and facial hair to the team. This should be a good game as long as we can stop Goosen side step and bounce off half the team. A Force win would be a nice birthday present. Lets get this one Force......Viva el rugby Australiano!

Maybe a shave beforehand would have ensured the bride turned up?

They were just laughing on Rugby Club here that it a shame that Coles isn't playing with Thrush there as they mates ,but both 'grubs' , and that meant in good way, plenty of lip etc.

The best of Martinborough give any Pinots a run for their money. Ata Rangi , Dry River and Craggy Range are world class .

They definitely do Pinot and rugby very well over the ditch !

Pumped for this one.
Probably the best chance of an Aussie team getting a win in this competition
