Whilst I'm happy to see JOC (James O'Connor) move closer in and think he is the long term answer at 12, I'd still like to see him in the back three for the Force, as that's where he'll play for the Wobs this year.

We've got Diggers back and the Drewster in form on the wings. KB (Kurtley Beale) is the worlds best fullback.

Meanwhile Gits and Sookface are out of form at 12.

I'm loving that JOC (James O'Connor)'ll get time at 12. It too reckon he'll rival Timmy H for best Wallaby 12 in the history books

PS - Sharpie's mum really needs to aim up on the dressing front. I know he'd just make a mess of his best suit and tie, but he's a big boy now

What the dickens was he doing? Has anybody else had their finger bitten by a possum by doing nothing?

Don't go there mate:eek: Possums aren't as friendly as dogs, and he's spent a bit of time on the dark (mungo) side....

Probably trying to fling it over the fence, bloody feral varmints that they are.

They also, apparently, have very sharp teeth and a nasty bite. When animal control handlers come to capture / move them, the gloves they wear are amazingly tough and thick, and they are still really careful about getting bitten through them.

it was a great moment for the Force, but I am against field goals being used to promote rugby.

When used at the right time - at the end of say the 2003 world cup, or the 1995 world cup, or against the Stormers, they are very important in promotion of the game. It captures the passions of the team for winning. I would have liked them to show how the Force reacted after that drop goal - Hill charging away and being swamped by team members. It brings up the passion of the game, which sells. But you are right, showing the 35 attempts that Frans Steyn does each game doesnt help.

And Reg, how is your tackling technique coming along ;)

Too be honest, it can't hurt O'Connor to play fullback this year - what happens if Beale goes down for the Wallabies? HUH? And fullback translates easily to wing at international level should he play there again this year.

Well we went down to the tahs but I expected it and I think we went quite well. Not our best team on the park. No willi pocock sharp smith or Inman. In the starting side or at all. 4 try's to 6 ain't bad.

Now they are talking about rabbit to play 10. If only we had 5 rabbits lol


Go the force!!!!

That was a great moment and the crowd went absolutely bananas. What made it sweeter was that I was there with a mate who was over from Sydney and he got to sample a bit of the passion that WA rugby people have for the game. He was quite surprised.

But the Force have got a 100% reliable field goal kicker in their squad. 100% record in Super Rugby.

Its all falling into place. Pie man is kept on the bench until late in the game. Then he can run on with 15 to go, and get in position for the winning field goal.

...only problem is, they'd probably be 4 behind when he kicks it.
