SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) Round 1 25/02/23 Force v Rebels

[Brumby Runner]

How often do you see a professional team who's captain is also playing their first game for the club? (not including pre-season matches)

Some time ago and at another franchise, but Ben Mowen at the Brumbies.

More West Aussies in the Rebels starting 15 than the Forces...

More of a burn on the Force than the Rebels

interesting no Orr or Eloff (injured ?) otherwise as expected 23

Dunno, didn’t know where they were going to play Jooste & Hodge. Both centre/fullbacks. Great to see Hosea though

Isn’t Hardwick Namibian? Didn’t know that was in WA. Who else are you claiming?

Come on mate he's raised in WA as was Jooste.

Louwrens also came to Perth at 16.

Yeah was actually a dig at the force

 

[Dctarget]

On potential, that bench is up there with the best we've had in a long time. Huge forward pack with Wallabies Pone & Jordy. Everyone's aware of Hosea's potential. Rate Tuttle a lot, I think Ripley is definitely one for the future and I think Ekuasi could be an absolute gem of a signing for presumably not much.

The player hasn't been unlocked yet at 19 is so ominous with Jono Lance's message. Who is it? Have they got Horwill out of retirement? Itoje is moonlighting in the west? Twiggy picked up Meafou?

[GaffaCHinO]

Jake Ball? Sita coming back? Thrush out of retirement? Sharpe to go around 1 last time who knows

 

[D-Box]

Whats most impressive is that it hasn't leaked

 

[Equalizer]

Thrush is coaching so maybe giving him a quick run to see if the hammy holds up and check his base fitness.

 

[D-Box]

Maybe in an attempt to bring in the Perth crowds they are researving 19 for one of these two

Went to Churchlands Senior High and played club footy here for Uni. He's a WA boy. Born outside of OZ like a large portion of our population.

Too many foreigners in Force squad. You should have a system like Irish. Poach some young Kiwi talents to make them elegible for WBs
