Round 2 - Force vs Reds, NIB Stadium, 2nd March @ 6:30pm (AWST)

Indeed. As I said earlier, and they cracked down on it a couple of years back. I seem to recall the flying leg chop with arms was even deemed not on due to the higher risk of injury.

Was a lot of fun to watch, though

Er, no it wasn't. Not if you've seen someone suffer a bad lower leg break from such an impact. Just as likely to injure the tackler as well. Pretty dopey really.

 

[Up the Guts]

Just what WA rugby needs.

 

[Highlander35]

Good, probably fair result.

Absolutely useless ref though.

I think he was talking about the game

Wow, great win for the Force!

I really liked what I saw from them in the second half.......

 

[Simon.]

Terrible ref, but no excuse for the terrible Reds. Reds should have had enough to win that even including that ref.

 

[biggsy]

Frisby Frisby Frisby,
Ref was shocking, Reds were worse.

 

[Ash]

Well that was weak.

Shocking from the Reds. Stiles got the subs completely wrong too, leaving Moore late but subbing Talakai early.

Please don't let any Australian team get this ref either.

Congrats to the Force.

Refereeing was generally terrible as was the ball handling but the commitment from the Force in the second half was much greater than the Reds.

They gave that everything and looked more like winners the longer the game went on.

Shit result.

Well done Force.

 

[Scooter]

Well done Force. A long time between drinks at home. Enjoy Force fans. Will make Friday at work even better.

 

[TSR]

Well - that was sobering.

Congrats to the Force. Not pretty by any means, but did enough to get the bikkies and showed patches of some real potential. Rona & Peni add a lot, but Meakes looks particularly promising.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Anyone have Nabuli on their fantasy team?

I said previously I hoped the Reds would work out how to beat the rush defence, looks like they did. Kerevi's break and then Duncan P's kick, textbook stuff.

Yep I have nabuli on my fantasy team

Immensely proud. Stoked to finally get that win at home!

 

[The torpedo]

Reds played like utter arsewipe and pretty much deserved to lose

But FFS this ref was absolute shit. Almost like he fucking wanted the force to win

So I've got a message for him

 

[hammertimethere]

So harsh on Fa'agase, pinged twice for tackles that weren't really high, gets scared and goes low with the arms up and gets binned. Outrageously bad refereeing.

This is a net positive for Aus rugby though I think. The Force needs wins early more than the Reds do in the grandest scheme of things

 

[Double Agent]

Congrats Force and all their fans on here, well deserved, showed a lot of heart.

If and when he holds onto the ball in contact. Really like the look of Peni. Big, quick and looks for work. Cannot ask for much more from a winger.
