Round 6: Drua v Force - Saturday March 30 - 12:05 pm AEDT

[ForceFan]

After the home win over the Reds, a bit of self-belief and a follow-up 80-minute effort could make it two in a row with a win over the Drua at Churchill Park, Lautoka.
Two changes into the XXIII due to injuries to Jeremy Williams (calf) and Will Harris (concussion) with Sam Carter and Ollie Callan coming onto the bench.

Great win last week!

This will be another level though after a long stint sitting in a metal tube .. Playing against the Drua at home is not an easy gig.

 

[Thalium]

I’m hopeful if the team sticks to their game plan and structures they can get it done. But in that humidity against the Drua at home they will need to dig deep to get it done

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Eden Park 1975 waterlogged pitch scenes in Lautoka. This is going to be radio rental.

 

[LeCheese]

Oh it's raining raining

 

[Dctarget]

Holy fuck balls that’s bad. Gonna be a weird game.

 

[Pokinacha]

Oh it's raining raining

Fijian raining

 

[LeCheese]

Impressed that both teams are still happy to play wide and fast

 

[Dismal Pillock]

FFS, just hoof the ball into the oppo ingoal where it will stop dead in the water. Everythings a 50-50 from there.

Haha, Lomani just randomly decides its time to kill Nic White. Fair enough decision tbf.

 

[D-Box]

For all the pedantic decisions we have around taking penalties on the mark - how is that one allowed. It can only be at the hooker or behind the scrum

 

[LeCheese]

This is chaos. I love it

 

[Derpus]

Australian handling is so bad. The Fijians out there catching everything despite the condition meanwhile the Force are playing AFL.

 

[Wilson]

Fijian understanding and familiarity with the conditions really starting to come to the fore

 

[Pokinacha]

Fijian understanding and familiarity with the conditions really starting to come to the fore

And still willing to throw it around island rugby style

 

[redstragic]

Perth to Fiji, got to be one of the toughest road trips in the world in 2024.

 

[Shiggins]

The TMO must be having issues. Fiji's first try he was a mile in touch.

 

[Pokinacha]

Lomani likely mentioning to Nic White that had the Force come to Fiji 200 years ago, Nic would have been an entrée

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Looking forward to 2nd half and Frank Lomani attempting to drown Nic White in a puddle.

6 week suspension.

Maybe down to 4 weeks if he attends Tackle Drowning School.

 

[Wilson]

Yellow cards keeping the Force in touch here, if Fiji can clean up their accuracy they should close this out pretty comfortably in the 2nd

 

[LeCheese]

Looking forward to 2nd half and Frank Lomani attempting to drown Nic White in a puddle.

6 week suspension.

Maybe down to 4 weeks if he attends Tackle Drowning School.

To make sure he gets the job done next time?
