    Round 3 Brumbies v Force Canberra 9 March

    Looks very realistic to me.

    Round 3 Brumbies v Force Canberra 9 March

    You're allowed to contest the ball in the air. Players are allowed to make contact in the air as long as they are in a realistic position to contest and aren't intentionally taking an opposition player out. What happened to Swain because of the contact is inconsequential, just as it was when...

    Round 3 Brumbies v Force Canberra 9 March

    Shouldn't have been a card or a penalty. Fair contest in the air. Potter was in a realistic position to hit the ball back, and only had eyes for the ball. That's why the review took 10 seconds. That and the obstruction call were the turning points of the game.

    Super Rugby: Round 1. Rebels vs Brumbies - 23 Feb AAMI

    Tickets not on sale until very late in the week would definitely have been a factor. Next week will be a better gauge, although the performances from the force and rebels this week certainly won't have helped

    Australian Rugby / RA

    Possibly stupid question, but is Rugby Australia solvent given their RWC cost overruns, private equity deal falling through and currently unfulfilled search for additional debt?

    Wallabies 2023

    Any news on how Ikitau's recovery is going? This weekend's game really highlighted how much we missed him on attack, defense and backline organisation.

    Western Force 2024

    It appears he is: link Ollie Hoskins would be a great get for both the Force and potentially the Wallabies. A locking duo of Rodda and Coleman would also be world class.

    Force 2023

    Burey's been very good, but Pasitoa would still be the first choice 10.

    Crusaders v Force 06/05/2023

    The Force have actually won all of their home games this year. They just haven't had that many home games.

    If that's the case, then fair enough - my mistake. Consider my post retracted.

    Australian Rugby / RA

    A good headline result, with a great deal thanks to Twiggy Forrest giving RA a largely free carried team in super rugby and allowing them to get an extra 25% broadcast revenue for having that extra team in the comp. Not worth a mention in any of the media, or any extra assistance for the Force...

    Force 2023

    If that's the case, then the 2 TMO's should be immediately sacked or severely reprimanded as they are clearly incompetent. As this doesn't appear to have happened, Cron's statement is quite reasonable. Checking for foul play is one of only 2 or 3 main functions of the TMO's job, and fair enough...

    Force 2023

    Seriously? Anstee's been very good this year, with better form than both Wells and RWV. Should almost be pushing for an inclusion in the Wallaby squad given he's a 6 who's excellent in the lineout.
