Pretty unlucky for sure. So many calls only went one way and were very harah but even I have to admit they don't deserve this one. They had their chances and were terrible in execution. Moana player pretty poor as well and still got the win. Was a dreadful game of rugby full of mistakes and whistles

Almost as many as they were penalised . Moana knocked it on just as much. Was dreadful

We were dire tonight, especially in the second half. I actually thought we were the better side in the first half, but our work at the break down and handling were poor. Missing a truck load of tackles didn't help either.
We had chances but our lack of accuracy let us down big time. Benny D is really starting to look like a quality 10 though, which is good. He runs our attack well. Other than that, not a lot to like.

F@rk what a hard life it is backing this team. 20 years next year and still slipping over on banana peels.

Yep apart from a few decent players they just don’t have the roster and international players to compete

Who actually played well ? I thought Donaldson was ok however if he made his kicks at goal we probably won the game.
Fines offered nothing which is such a shame as all us force supporters expect a lot out of him and rate him highly. Potter was ok from memory. He is actually a decent super rugby player and really good signing.
I can't think of one player in the pack who performed. Anstee, Williams, Horton, tizano harris all expect to be half decent and not one played well.
We can't even beat a Moana side who played well bellow par. The way Moana played I can whinge about the ref all day and we still should have won.
Liali'ifano was way offside in their try from the lineout and I didn't even mention it as I was so disappointed with how the team was playing.
Moana definitely deserved to win that game. There is no way in the world the force deserved to get away with a win in this one

If that's what he's saying publicly imagine the spray he gave/ is going to give the players in private...

Yeah I'd imagine there isn't a lot of paint left on those changing room walls.

And considering they probably played better than the Brumbies last week and lost. Looked way better in attack …. Rugby… who’d be a coach? Or a referee for that matter.

I thought kuenzle was good, made a lot of crucial tackles I could see watching live. That’s about it
should try Potter at full back next week, drop Burey and pick another winger.
can’t make any other changes as we don’t have any other options

Burley has been looking great but looked poor along with everyone else this game. Not sure if we should drop him. For who? Poolman isn't super rugby quality but maybe with more game time could be. He is a big lad

I would put O’Donnell or Leahy on wing and Potter to fullback. Both looked good for under 20s and in pre season, give them a crack
