Force v Hurricanes 2011R15

[tigerland12]

Cam Shepherd is having a massive impact on the game already. Class player

 

[Bruwheresmycar]

Shepherd is on fire.

 

[Nusadan]

Force's new halves making a huge difference...

 

[Bruwheresmycar]

hahaha, Stannard you legend.

 

[Bruwheresmycar]

The backs are doing well, but really we are winning this game in the forwards.

 

[Richo]

Great control of the ball in tight from the Force.

 

[tranquility]

Stannard and Shep looking very polished.

Go The Force!!!

Can anyone give me an update on Swanopoel and Stannard please.

Overslept and missed the first half

Both playing very very well.

 

[Bruwheresmycar]

Stannard "has the ball on a string" (commentators words). And Swanepoel is passing and kicking very well. Ripia should be worried.

 

[darkhorse]

Whose this Swanopoel bloke. The name rings a bell and he is playing well. Definitely thought the force where in trouble without JOC (James O'Connor), ripia, fairbanks and sheenan.

Mark Swanopeol -Aus schools 2007 9 played in the allconquering TSS side of 2007 along with Morahan and Slipper (and a few others). I believe got signed up by the reds out of school. Played for manly in the shute shield and shone at no10. Then got signed by the force a year ago i think.

Physical 9 with a good running game but suspect passing when I have seen him play

 

[Bruwheresmycar]

Where have you been all my life Stannard?

 

[tigerland12]

Tell ya what, Stannard and Swanepoel are exicuting this game plan perfectly. It's not creative but its being done well and its not too ba to watch

 

[Maroon Army]

Have they both done enough to earn another crack next game?

I think so.

 

[dobduff11]

Piri is looking a touch overweight at the moment isn't he

Savea had big raps on him from the U20's last year and was decent in the NPC but IMHO he has been shocking in the Super comp so far.

 

[matty_k]

How long can the Force keep the ball for

 

[Guy]

What was Dunning doing flopping into that last ruck... thats very poor after 80 minutes of all the rest of his team working their heart out...

 

[tigerland12]

Richard Graham must be losing sleep over the lack of ability to finish off a game

 

[No4918]

Unlucky loss. Well played Force. With half their first choice backs out they can hold their heads high. Stannard and Shepherd were standouts with Stannards performance really surprising.
