Super Rugby 2023 Rd 2: Force v Reds, Sun 5th Mar

[Sword of Justice]

Hey I work in mining myself every state has to have at least one thing, I guess no one told you guys that it didn't just have to be rocks.

How old is that video? Probably as old as the last time the Reds were relevant. Was it recorded on VHS or Betamax?

Some things never get old and some teams are never irrelevant.

Did you know QLD is Australia's second largest state. Good to see it knows its place...on and off the pitch.

As old as Van Humphries was when he played?

As my misses keeps telling me, size isn't everything

I know one stat that's undeniable it's 4th v 11th in Super 2023.

Gotta love that post round one optimism - we've been there plenty of times before too

Trust a Force fan to say something like that. Jeez.

Did you know WA is two hours behind QLD time wise, but five years behind rugby wise

Game Day is here. It’s going to be a good match both teams with something to prove on neutral ground.

As a Force fan I want a big win from them.

however we also need a strong confident bunch of reds players for the RWC

hope it’s great game with a good contest

My beloved Roosters play at the same time :shock:

The Reds are under huge pressure. An awesome Rebels performance (which they probably should have won in the end), the Tahs really clicking (albeit late) last night. The Force and Brumbies winners last week. They run the risk of become also rans very quickly if they lose today. Particularly as they travel to Canberra next week.

As an aside, no Reds podcast this week. Your have to think they are feeling the pressure.

The Tongan Thor leaving QLD next year has probably ripped the heart out of this team. They could lose by 40

I hope we'll see the Reds take full advantage of the aerial game this afternoon - Vunivalu, Petaia and Flook are all excellent in the air, and Lynagh, Paisami and Flook all have the kicking game to be setting those plays up. If they get it going early it'll put a hell of a lot of pressure on the Force's defence, particularly with a make shift 13 out there.

Absolutely. In fact if it doesn’t happen the Force should be embarrassed

 

[Equalizer]

The great thing for the Force is we were tipped as one of the also rans this season. Any win and demonstrated growth as a team is a success for 2023 under new coach Cronny.

 

[Dctarget]

Reds will take a moral victory if they finish within 50.

 

[Equalizer]

I can't wait for the backlash after the game if the Force lose. Imagine the comments

 

[LeCheese]

Fuck I love Jordy

Too easy
