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

[Members Section]

Game day and I am so excited, but unfortunately I have a mates birthday and won’t be able to watch it until tomorrow

I have a charity golf do at 7am, the 1st few holes maybe dusty

 

[Rebel man]

very rudely I put my own engagement party on tonight. Will be watching it too tomorrow morning hopefully not too dusty.

Hang on it’s your party, surely just the game on the big screen with a few beers would suffice. Maybe some cocktails to keep the women happy. Enjoy

Jackson Pugh on the bench for the Force in the 19 jumper.

Good to see Pugh playing but that's much less exciting than the 'big announcement' that was being teased. I'm guessing whatever was supposed to happen there didn't quite come off.

edit: Wait, who is playing in 20 then?

Pugh was already named in jumper 20...

All the team lists are showing Pugh in the 19 jumper and only a 7 man bench. Maybe there will be a last minute announcement, seems odd to leave it so late unless Rodda has come up good to go?

Congratulations Dctarget.

The only person "teasing" the 'big announcement' was Jono Lance.

Congratulations,

But come on show the game, had a dead rubber Bledisloe Cup game on at my wedding reception.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Can confirm I have seen RHP at the ground but he isn't in gear and doesn't look very in shape...he's just hanging out in the stands with his brother Dane so the mystery 19 is not him still waiting I'm guessing we are going to be disappointed

 

[GaffaCHinO]

The mystery number 19 is Jeremy Thrush...

 

[Highlander35]

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Looks like Faainga is out glad we got him over...Marley Pearce warming up

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Also hope some people turn up soon be lucky to crack 5k at the point.

 

[Equalizer]

Pre game team announcements. Nice weather, beautiful conditions.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

Ffs Mataele also put...Pulu into the starting side no replacement announced....

anyone else feel like a zinger burger?

 

[D-Box]

That is a ridiculous penalty all round. Stupid form the Force but what impact did the advance have on the game

 

[Scooter]

Great scrum by the Rebels.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Been doing it the entire round. I don’t mind it. The players are offside so they can’t advance. Always been a rule and it won’t take long for the players to learn.
