The Do It For Sambo game. Good line up for the Force, not a fan of Ralston so will need a HUUUUUGGGGE game from Mataele!

Pulu still out with head Injury protocols from Bank's clash. Kahui out as close contact with Covid protocol.

Rodda and Kaitu'u only arrived back late yesterday from Wallabies camp so will be given minutes off the bench rather than starting.

McIntyre only resumed training today after being a close contact Covid, however I think it was time Reesjan was given another starting opportunity I think he is more than ready and rather now than against the Kiwi opposition later on.

Great, so I am guessing because Kaitu'u, Rodda and Pulu went to Wallabies camp they are not selected to start this week. We can't afford to drop this game.
Also not hugely excited about Lacey on the bench. Surely would have been good to test out someone new like Daniel Ala or Reece Tapine or Give Grayson Makara a proper run

Like the look of the Force forward pack going need a big game from the whole team but I’m hopeful the force can get it done against a much improved Rebels team

A risky move at this point of the season. Rebels are playing Kellaway and Hodge. This might be an interesting outcome.

and Sankey is a lock ..... so a bit concerned who will be missing from the bench
I think it starts with R.......as in aaaaaarrrrhhh f@rk it. Team list shows Rodda missing off the bench. Will need big effort from Thrushy playing big minutes.

Where are you seeing this updated team list Equalizer? Can you post it please?

If Rodda is out, that is definitely a big loss for the Force.
Interesting that Sankey has leapfrogged Macauley and Pugh. Looking forward to seeing Tapine given some minutes.

I got the Force social media updates about the changes and it updated in my Union Live app.

Great try by Rebels. Good set piece. Then To'omua running a nice angle to set up Uelese.

Rebels continuing from last week…can’t believe how suddenly Tuttle looks ok - big turnaround for him since last week
