Western Force v ACT Brumbies - Rnd 17 Friday 5 June

[Pedrolicus]

Thanks. I stand corrected. But to ensure a finals spot, the Brumbies probably need to win with a bonus point. Only way they might do that is to play with ball in hand. No silly gifting possession to the Force. That could be a big ask the way they've generally been playing this year.

Brums need 5 points from the final two games to guarantee finals footy. Tahs need just a win, 4 points.

I think we'll get the five tonight.

Let's try and at least get the win...............

The Force aren't going to roll over for us like the Blues are going to do for the 'saders by resting what few players they have left..................

I love Friday night rugby. Come on Force!

My god Morahan can't defend.

 

[Pedrolicus]

Poey-oey

 

[Pedrolicus]

7-0 glut of possession to the ponies reaps reward. Pocock finishes a close range lineout maul.

 

[Pedrolicus]

Holmes nails a penalty and it's 3-7 Brums

 

[ChargerWA]

The Force with no structure in attack. Alby's looks up and then shovels it on as he has no options. Holmes then has the same dilemma but with less time.

And then the Brumbies are bitching us in in Forward play. Foley supposed area of expertise. Thinks ain't looking good.

 

[Pedrolicus]

Angus Gardner warns both captains for ruck infringements. Meanwhile Holmes knocks over another penalty and it's 6-7 Brums.

 

[ChargerWA]

Fucks sake. Coleman and Cottrel both trying to kill Moore. Don't hurt him you nong brains.

Michael Foley is such an idiot. The Force contest every breakdown, it's no wonder they run out of numbers after several phases.

 

[Pedrolicus]

Brums score a great team try finished by Lealiifano who ads the extras 6-14 Brums

 

[ChargerWA]

Brums on track for for 4 try bonus point before half time.

 

[Pedrolicus]

Force warned about illegal maul defense while white kicks the Brums another 5m line out.

 

[Pedrolicus]

3rd try 2nd for Pocock. Mafi gets a yellow and Lealiifano kicks the conversion. 6-21 Brums 11 min to go in the first half.

 

[ChargerWA]

Cummins shouldn't be anywhere near the RWC squad if he can't back himself from there.

 

[Pedrolicus]

The crowd erupts when Cummins nearly gets a run away try. Great scrambling defense by the Brums and there's a five metre scrum for the Force being held up over the line.

 

[ChargerWA]

This is so hard to watch.

 

[Pedrolicus]

Pocock wins a defensive penalty and the Brums get our of trouble.

 

[Pedrolicus]

McCalman takes an accidental head butt to the jaw from team mate Holmes. Looked nasty.
