Force v Chiefs - Round 8 2017

[Braveheart81]

I guess they really needed that young Scottish lock after all. Straight into the starting XV.

Looks like a bit of rotation this week with Lance on the bench.

Big question marks over our second row- what a bummer to have 4 locks out injured (Coleman, Matwijow, Arnold and Phillip).

Also big question marks at 10. I don't feel like Jono Lance has been brilliant and I'd love to see what Luke Burton can offer- but not against the Chiefs and not at home.

I hear there will be a big crowd for this one. It would be a shame if they came to see the Force get decimated.

A bit crazy having so many injuries after a bye week. Was hoping to have a few players back but looks like the opposite has happened.

Will be interesting to see how the new guys go....but not feeling overly optimistic

 

[Hawko]

How long are the four lock casualties going to be out for?

 

[Forcefield]

Unless the Force are giving out alternative facts, I don't see any reason why three of them (all but Matwijow) wouldn't be available for the Lions. It doesn't sound like they were major injuries and one of Phillip or Arnold must have played out the game against the Kings.

So Peni's out for the season?

 

[Forcefield]

Looks like it- poor guy- he was going pretty well for a first season of Super Rugby.

Chiefs first try from an obstruction, but ref doesn't check it even though Hodgson tells him.

Cruden was trying to take the kick Hodgson went up and took the ball off the tee
