I must say, that run on team looks fantastic, but that bench is pretty unimpressive. Let's hope the Tahs close their games out early.

No one to come back from injury either is there?

Not injured but short of fitness: Peter Betham is the only one.

Not sure if Tala Gray was available either, I imagine he'll overtake Hoiles at some stage.

I think Gray will play for Gen Blue on Saturday. He played in the curtain raiser at Campbelltown last Friday.

Steenkamp unlucky but understandable given we would be better off with the added grunt of Coleman over the lineout prowess of the former. Mafi to come on to combat Potgieter - I cant wait for that head-to-head.

In order to win we really need our backs to be clinical enough to convert our chances into points, because we know the Force are more than capable of entering the opposition half.

A lot more optimistic now.

Oh yeah, me either. Irresistible force, meet immovable object.

Here's hoping for good, solid years from Coleman, Cottrell and Godwin. Force followers, I wish you win all your games this year, less two..... :cool:

That Force team is more than capable of taking this out. First game so it depends on the preparation and who is ready to roll. Might of been nice to have a home game first up. Coleman deserves the start and expecting big things from him this year. Formidable back row and our centre combination should unlock some friggin magic. Maffi the energizer bunny in the second half to deliver the pain.

Mate. All you had to do was put the Firepower pellet in the brown paper bag and it turned into money. You must have added it wrong.
Don't worry about the firepower from 10 years ago.....you just worry about the firepower coming the Tahs way this Sunday! It's Cheikas boys not the cheques that are gonna bounce in this one.

Me too Lindo. They will be knocking on the door of Wallaby squad if they start well, to say nothing of massively improving our chances of making the finals at the same time.

Holloway really has to get game time this year or else I suspect he'll look for an opportunity elsewhere.

I'm a real fan of Hollway. He's big, skilful and has a big motor. I'd love to see him kick on this year because I reckon he could really be something. Bruce would love him because he's got a big arse, denoting some power through the trunk.

The Waratahs have the pure power to blow us off the park. We probably have a bit of an advantage at the set piece and have more mobility. We need to hold onto possession to keep the big Tah forwards moving around but also play for territory after that to pressure the Tah line-out which doesn't boast too many options.

What's the word from the training paddock in regards to the Tahs set piece?

It would make sense for Cheika to place some emphasis on it to surprise the opposition and to also set the focus for the group heading into the RWC.
