Western Force v Lions, Saturday, 28 June @ Optus Stadium 8pm AEST

[Sword of Justice]

That should have meant nothing in selection for this. He played 10 in every game this year for the Force. Feels brain dead.

I’m just not seeing enough enterprise or control to steer the Wallabies if he can’t get involved here. I have no idea what his natural position is.

western force bench playing like they should be, not really Super standard players against a world XV.

That’s true and neither do I but he’s the 10 of the Force so I don’t get why he isn’t the 10 in this if available.

I personally have never been the biggest fan. He’s a very good athlete more than anything else.

If we had a genuine world class 10 we wouldn’t even talk about him.

I suspect there may have been some instructions from Wallabies camp for all those in the squad

 

[Sword of Justice]

Hindsight is 20/20 and I expected Lions to struggle more around the edges given the new combinations but it’s a shame the Force didn’t keep rolling around the corners after having success there early.

 

[Shiggins]

Shit calls coming in now. Dono almost got his head taken off at one point now it's a penalty for a soft high tackle

 

[Grandmaster Flash]

Hamish Stewart has been dreadful.

 

[Dctarget]

Hamish Stewart has been dreadful.

I find his constant selection for the Force confusing. He’s been a handbrake on their attack for a while.

 

[A mutterer]

That was a lovely set-up by the lions

46656 offical attendance

I know it was the Lions and I feel dirty saying this but that was beautiful work for that try. Oz teams would have struggled trying to bash it over but the ball out the back hitting space was great to see

 

[Derpus]

The Force fell apart before the bench got involved. Never thought theyd be in it but youd think the occasion would give them a bit of motivation.

 

[Shiggins]

C'mon okeef. Give the boys some 50/50s have some fun

 

[Sword of Justice]

Hopefully the Force reserves take a lesson from this that even the world’s most talented players have respect for executing basic skills immaculately.

 

[schmidt it in]

Have they announced a crowd figure?

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Yeeeesss Timmy. He’s back. Farrell would be happy about no injuries.

Mate, the 9 came off with a hammy.

 

[Shiggins]

Ball ripped after tackle, dono tackled high. C'mon

 

[Shiggins]

Have they announced a crowd figure?

Should be around 66k

 

[A mutterer]

Just realised cdc and swain are still on the field ... definitely putting their hands up for the wobs

 

[schmidt it in]

Should be around 66k

60k capacity?
