I was too lazy to type it out!

It is good to see Justin Turner get a run after coming back and playing last year with Soaks after yet another knee surgery suffered in 2013

Also I don't get to watch heaps of games with kids and not Foxtel - Can someone tell me how the Blues are sitting 14th with that team? Interestingly they have done the opposite to the Chiefs and bought their All Black back for the Force game.

Maybe Sir John isn't the coach for them? Hope Coleman is OK to play, but personally think they might error on the cautious side to make sure he stays healthy for a possible Wallabies call up. DHP putting himself in contention for a jersey too.

Louwrens was good last week and gave the team a different look. Lets hope he can nail his first start.

I'm hoping for a boil over. I would call it that if the force won. Defiantly a chance. Could jump the ladder and start to make for a more respectable placing before the season end

Was interested to see Hodgson on Breakdown (NZ rugby show), says team got a lot of confidence in how they played last week, so if true has makings of a good game. One of NZ panel ( Pita Alatini) was picking a Force win too.

Can't see a win for the Force here. IF the Blues actually defend well they have way to much attacking potential for the Force to deal with. Even Kirwan has to be able to coach the Blues to a win against the most predictable side in the competition.

the current Western Force team must be the shittiest team to ever play Super Rugby. At least the Lions in 2009 were sometimes fun to watch and broke the line here and there
