Yeah I've heard that, but if that's the case, they're probably close enough to win it, which is motivation enough.
In practice how often do we see a side chuck in the towel? Even sides that have been belted tend to look for the consolation try.
If a side wants to play conservatively to protect a lead, I have no problem with that, the ultimate goal is to win. The winning fans probably want their side to protect their lead ("KICK IT TO THE SH1T HOUSE!!
) ", and the losing fans want them to stop scoring points.I guess I'm not so much opposed to it as can't see the need for it.

Squad is that low on players atm. Young Kailea would effectively be the 8th choice prop. Unfortunately they have had to draft him in from the development ranks and only playing 2nd grade last year to the side due to injuries. It’s arguably cost us 2 matches with the scrum going from very competitive to been monstered both games once he’s come on. He’s a good talent but not at the level required currently. There is backs available but another injury to the forwards would mean another 18yr old would be drafted into the squad from the development side.

Yeah we might as well be in Brisbane today (and frankly this week)!

I'm not going to lie...I'm nervous.
This is a huge game for the Force.
A loss here would be disappointing.
No more excuses tonight. We've had two competitive games and a pre season match, we've got off the mark with a win, combinations should be starting to gel.
Feels like a must win.
i might have to get to the ground a little early to have a beer to settle the nerves.

Two or three, just to be sure. And they're like antibiotics, you have to be sure to finish the whole course.

It could be a ploy FF (Folau Fainga'a), but I'm more inclined to think that he copped a glancing blow only and has recovered from a very mild form of concussion. AAA's arm was more an air swing than a massive right cross.

And it's a very big head. There's a lot of circumference to glance off.

I'm disappointed his mullet didn't off him more protection.

As a neutral and supporter of oz rugby (all states) I hope personally with covid challenges most affecting the rebels and with their recent near losses like to see a rebels win tonight...
