The Force have named their squad to travel over the ditch (and bloody big continent) and take on the 'Canes. Ma'fu is out from the "miracle 22" who knocked over the Cursaders last Saturday, with Longbottom, Cotrall and Stanley also traveling. I would think the team would stay the same with Faulkner to start in place of Ma'fu and possible Walton for Wykes

Force presser here

Lets bring on another win.

Force coming off a win, Hurricanes coming off a loss. Match being played in Wellington, so very nervous indeed.

Time for the boys to string a few wins together. Thats the next step in the relaunch learning curve. Don't see the need for too many changes to the Sader bashing team.

Anyone is due a win its the highlanders and odds are they won't take us lightly at all. Last week I put 50 on :). This week I wouldn't

That is a good team. I thought we might be able to dominate their back rowers but our 3 would have to play at their best to get the edge in that contest.

I think we just have to get off the line quickly and flood the breakdowns to slow their ball. If we can stop the ball from getting to their back 3 we will have a chance and our back 3 will have to have their positioning spot on to defend the inevitable counter attacks.

This will be tough at the cake tin, but definitely a winnable contest.

I don't think the Force have fallen my way in the tipping yet. I do hope they win this, but I really have no idea. Though the way they play and with their miser like defence they should be in it.
