World Series Rugby: Rd1 Western Force VS Fiji NIB Stadium PerthWA 06:30 PM WST

[Up the Guts]

Not sure about Wolf Mother

Intercept by the Fiji fatty! Geez can our forwards map that? Not connecting in the handling though.

 

[dru]

Fiji line out mall really good. PLay gives an advantage, ref calls it to Fiji.

 

[dru]

Opportunist try to Fiji 9. Lost the ball in a scrum belatedly picks it up (cool skills) puts through to score.

Converted.

WF 19 Fiji 7

Is the new best name in Rugby Dicky Dicky Latte (Can't be bothered googling the real spelling)

 

[dru]

10 in and another stoppage this time with a Fiji guy in trouble.

 

[Shaker]

More than 19000 people at NIB to see the Force return to rugby while the Rebels get absolutely whipped at home. Cant pretend im not enjoying this evening.

 

[dru]

Twigg having a ball back on the pine - meaning chatting to the reserves and the backing team. Bloke in his element. Deserves to be smiling.

<and he is!>

 

[Forcefield]

No need to go there Shaker. Focus on us- forget about anyone else.

But Shaker can still not pretend - it's an F'ing enjoyable evening!

 

[dru]

Force D is wow, but the Fiji guys are soo slippery!

 

[dru]

Haha - Force pass into ref. Scrum

 

[dru]

Scrum penalty Force. Wont see much of a dominant scrum with this 60s rule, but it happened here.

 

[dru]

Rod still has a rocket.

 

[dru]

Grounded try to Force against the ref call in traffic. My view completely legitimate.

Conversion fail.

Force 24 F 7

 

[dru]

Fiji have plenty of time, pushing it, but seems unlikely. 10m lineout charging forward.

Doesn't work.

5m scrum to F and they start the break out. Fiji miss another opportunity.

 

[dru]

Fiji with a few phases until unforced drop ball error. 15min to go.

 

[Swandive]

Thanks for the updates Dru. BTW, why is Pek Cowan not in the squad?

 

[dru]

Fiji in a striving gallop down the left.the other left ! Impressive, but stopped by the ref.
