[Paradox]

Genia not on this half. Injury or planned?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

2nd half. Sanchez remains in the Sheds. Frisby is the new #9.

The Golden Slipper is the new Captain for Red.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Eberson lining up 51 metre PK. For Schatz off feet in ruck at 43 minutes,

Kick just short. Reds 22 restart. No change to score.

 

[Paradox]

Ebersohn going to try and kick one from 55 metres.

[Paradox]

Ref complaining about Camera attached to him "Feels like I'm carrying a computer on my back and it's hot as well"

 

[Paradox]

Ordinary play from Force. Lineout on 1/2 way to Reds.

 

[Paradox]

Cooper another shite pass.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Reds need some leadership. Really missing Horwill and Sanchez. Rather aimless for much of this match so far.

 

[Paradox]

Ordinary at the back of maul there by Charles.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Quirke seems to have recovered from the earlier knock to his knee.

FingerS is subbed off. Hansen is on as #2. (shoulder problem?)

 

[Paradox]

Force win turnover. Reds look flat.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

50 minute mark. No change to the score.

Reds on attack in WA 22.

 

[Bardon]

Reds are still in touch despite QC (Quade Cooper) having a bit of a meltdown today. If Force can't add to their lead while they have the ascendancy then the Reds are going to win this one and it will be an all too familiar story for the Force.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The Red team don't seem to want to score. Silly mistakes.

Force defending well. Is this more of M Foley's "play not to lose" strategy?

Force belief is growing though Bardon. Their defense is resolute.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Force Sub.
11 Mafi off, Asolea on.

Reds Sub
1 Holmes off Anae on

 

[Bardon]

The Force's lineout has been a mess the whole game.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Shoulder Charge from Quirke. Looks like 3 points coming up for the Force.

25 metres out in front.

Yellow Card.

56 minutes gone.

Score now 16 - 12
