6/2 Split for the force is very interesting means some big minutes for the backs and heavy expectations from the forward packs to make a big impact

Another reason why I couldn’t be a coach (there are many reasons - lack of any Rugby skill at the top of the list!). A 6/2 split makes me really nervous. What if you lose 2 backs?

You have to lose three to be in serious trouble. Even then, your 20/21 is usually fast enough to move to 12. IMO its a good strategy against the Blues, where their forward pack is so strong. If you ask 6 of your 8 to empty themselves by 50 minutes you can bring on six fresh substitutes for 20-30.

T-minus f*** knows for ignition sequence start on Operation WA 666 Blue Sky Ballsack Mining Bonus Point Boom Chucka Lucka.

Valves, stable.

Boosters, stable.

Weather's looking real nice up here Houston, all systems are a go.

Houston: "Checking command modules".
Coach Leon: "Guidance is internal"
Akira: "Stupid Sexy Kahui should stay on the bench if he knows what's good for him....."
Graham Henry: "What day or time does this stupid match kick off anyway?"
Akira: "It kicks off when I say it kicks off".
Captain Papalii: "Godspeed the vortex".
Akira: "F*** them all".

It makes me nervous too but I think the big secret is who was picked, Prior and Kahui provide cover for any position that is lost in the backline. and the other big one is with Stander out you would expect Anstee at 8 but he has been put onto the bench as with his sevens background he could slot into the back line if needed i recon.

Yep I like you GMR, when my team has a 6-2 split if you get a back injury early you get real nervous.

I would be concerned if he was broadcasting that they have already conceded the loss. Captains need to humanise the reality of the game ahead. Tate McDermott does it well. No bullshit. People listen because it’s real.

Thank Christ the punishing Brisbane bummer is over. Onto the main event that is the Perth procession.

Something tells me this lady is not actually singing the Un Zud anthem...

Haha, 3 minutes in and Akira tried to make a mine using Kyle Godwin's body as the drill bit.

The Force have powered to the lead. If we keep scoring at this rate we'll win 60-0.

 

[Rebel man]

Good to see the ref take a hard line with the kiwi sides. Too often they get looked after 6 penalties in 7 minutes.

 

[todd4]

More points to the Force, I may have been a bit conservative with my previos prediction

Jesus, here we go, more of the "us aussies are as pure as the driven snow and would never infringe"

"It's just the kiwis cheating all the time that's stopping our local heroes from winning"

They infringed 6 times within the first 7 minutes. Simply not good enough

 

[todd4]

Ah well, it was good while it lasted..

Normal service resumed with blues quick 2 tries

Bloody hell!
