I have, he's remarkable. I've always been a fan of the guy actually. So much talent, unfortunately it's wrapped up in a tiny package! Says a lot that he has come so far in this day and age of massive players. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'd say the Honey Badger is a better kick chaser than Coleman... and his defense is far better than Tomane. One on one, Coleman is incredible... but not sure it is all enough for International rugby. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

How good is the extra coverage the Force are getting, love being up the pointy end of the log!? Being stuck overseas its brilliant from my perspective!

Please let the answer be: "all of the above"

...except for the players who are physically doing the travel... it is not easy! ...and I would imagine the same for any reporters following a team... or not... for that reason.

Any news on the injuries from the Tahs game? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Agreed, and thats an excellent point about the Team. Its also about building to next year (as much as I hate 'Tests' to be any type of building). However including Hodgo in the squad for his sheer grit and professionalism would be valuable.

On current form and influence over the team (and game), ignoring incumbency, Hodgo is ahead of Hooper IMO, he's the complete package right now. I think he is playing better now than when he did make the Wallabies.

I agree on all counts. There is depth too - when someone comes off the bench, they bring a similar level, if not more as they are fresh. That also breeds confidence - and competition - within the squad. There are some exceptions, but it is a massive difference to a few years ago.

I am so impressed with the whole team combo... the forwards have always been a strength, but they seem to have another level of belief now. The whole team is playing with confidence in everything they do. Sias has muscled up and goes looking for work in defence, varies his play with more runs...

I have been pretty critical of Rasolea in the past... but I think he is growing in confidence and asking a few questions of the defense. Centre 'partnerships' are crucial to successful play and that pairing is being given the time to gel, and proving some naysayers (like me) wrong. I also...

The Force always seem to be unusually comfortable playing the Highlanders... hence the record... the Clan is looking good this year though, but I am still picking the Force. Cannot believe I am doing that two weeks in a row though!!

I agree the Rebels look good so far and are favoured for a reason, but I'm just not sure how good the Cheetahs are nor how good the Tahs and Brumbies really are... interesting game!

I agree Moono ...when they have been allowed (or don't care anymore) the Force counterattack and broken play running has been excellent this season. I hope Foley allows this into the game plan (but I doubt it)... given how static and well known the basic Force game plan is, it would be a...

Yeah I got that... both of them were feeding into the row. Given that was supposed to be one thing the ref's focused on with the new scrum laws, it seemed strange to me. However I guess it was in line with a fairly average officiating performance. (which didn't affect the result)

So were Phipps.

Sorry Charger... saw I repeated Gaffa's comment!

Except the Force have never won their first game or their first game at home! I hope the Force cause the upset, but I think their combinations need more time. Too many new folk. However hoping I am wrong.....

I'm looking forward to seeing how Beale handles some H-Badger at full tilt!! Test out that shoulder and his heart!

Any updates from the Pampas match?
