Geez is that where Prinsep ended up after Canes let him go?

 

[Thalium]

Prinsep is injury cover and a good bit of experience to bring in as a cover

Ok thanks Thal, hadn't read he was there is all. I unfortunately think it keeps giving impression thet Force are picking up a few from NZ that really can't cut it anymore? I know probably not what they doing, but just from this side of the ditch it is how it kind of looking.

 

[Wilson]

Nic White out with a minor knee issue

 

[Shiggins]

2 soft 50/50 penalties to the force. Need to do better. Moana player miles offside hugging the fines and the ref doesn't blink an eye lol

 

[Shiggins]

Jesus Christ. It's like watching under 9s

 

[Shiggins]

Since when can't you use your feet in the ruck ?

 

[Shiggins]

Another soft penalty for minor body contact in the line out and a warning for yellow card. Force need to be better. If they are 10mm offside or do anything that looks slightly sus it's a penalty.

 

[Wilson]

Force playing the complete opposite game to last week's first half. Inaccurate, ill-disciplined and not at all fluent.

 

[Wilson]

That's better

 

[Shiggins]

This game is embarrassing for super rugby. If one teams rises and plays to a super rugby standard they should win by many

The penalties are outrages. Can't win games giving away that many in 15 minutes. Lucky to be winning the game. If fines takes that pass they would be suprisingly well up

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Harris to Fines absolutely butchering that certain try was an All World Facepalm moment


ps Shiggers, are you sitting down for this?

The Force are far and away the most penalised team in Super Rugby this season

 

[Shiggins]

That's a weak penalty. Trapped in there and the ball was well available.

ps Shiggers, are you sitting down for this?

The pass was a shocker as well. Was such a great set up training run as well

 

[dusk]

You absolute fucking donut.

 

[Shiggins]

Omg the handling errors are unreal from both sides.

 

[Shiggins]

Clean in the side and steals the ball and no penalty? How can some refs manage to penalise one team off the field which is fine but then not penalise the other
