^ well they are infamously inconsistent, almost as much so as Loss Bleus, so you may be right. OTOH you could be in for a right old pantsing.....

 

[Equalizer]

Good start by the Force. Stay out front boys and keep the scoreboard ticking over.

 

[Equalizer]

We're thrashing them!

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

'twould appear the McLean Park groundsman has marked the field both too short & too narrow for 'canes liking.......

Edit: ain't no catching Aumua in that much space.

 

[Dctarget]

Oooh that is an amazing front row try. What an absolute weapon.

 

[Equalizer]

What happened to the days of the plodding slow Hooker. Now they are faster than many of the backs.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ midfield back at high school but I think they had enough big & fast 'nesian midfielders already so converted him to hooker. Stepped & skinned a Cantab winger on the outside a few years back in NPC so he's got footwork, too.

Edit: was George Bridge but playing fullback.

Edit: as has Rayasi. Nice assist from PU-J, I hope Foster is watching.

 

[Equalizer]

nice defence Robbo

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Plenty of Tribe alumni in the stands come to watch their old mate Richard Kahui. Nice.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

That was rather too easy........

Edit: Force player blowing up re: the line JBar ran but he had no chance, Kirifi was gone already.

 

[Equalizer]

Time to get Stander on for Anstee and Kaitu'u who is a more punishing runner at 2 for the Force. TK will hopefully stiffen up the midfield as well.

Kahui’s no slouch but that was embarrassing from him.

 

[Equalizer]

I'm more concerned about Anstee and Olowofela missing tackles.

 

[Dan54]

Geez where's Shiggins? Aumosa of wit HIA from high shot, no penalty I am sure Shiggins is sitting at home yelling for red card!

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ defiantly so!

 

[Equalizer]

Force did everything right defending the rolling maul and then get beaten on the outside again. Time for some changes before this gets too far gone.

 

[D-Box]

So when is there a ruck formed can you reach through the players boudin to you and grab the ball

 

[Teh Other Dave]

I love a good, telegraphed box kick.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Yellow Card.

Edit: penalty only. Can't agree with that.

 

[Pokinacha]

That is unbelievable
