force are winning this

 

[dusk]

Excellent idea to bench half your team! Really efficient managing!

Toole just burned Kibirige!!

 

[Shiggins]

Force doing what they should be doing against this side. Brumbies should be good enough toget back into the game.

Someone like Toole will struggle to get into this game. Will be interesting to see if he looks for the ball. And saxford? Played so well last week. Can he step up again

 

[qwerty51]

Just me or does Tom Hooper seem trimmed down from last year?

 

[Shiggins]

Force with some lazy phases and a lazy kick leads to a try for the Brumbies.

 

[Shiggins]

Force play 20 great minutes followed by 20 min of the worst all year.

 

[nathan]

Not sure if a single force through has been straight all night? Do refs just not rule that anymore?

He's definitely lost a bit of punch in contact

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Great half of footy that

They don't for about 70 min and then they call one randomly

TMO needs to get real. Absolute disgrace. There’s no force there at all.

Chimed in after the conversion for a clearly backwards pass too. If you’re going to intervene at least do it immediately and not whilst play has long gone and not for 50/50 foul play. Clear and obvious stuff.

 

[Shiggins]

How's the tackle fine ? So you can now stuff arm someone in the face when they are hardly dropping. And murehead was moving upward. It's a penlaty.

 

[SteveWA]

It was a high tackle.

 

[Shiggins]

Anstee a much better rugby player than wells.

[Shiggins]

Brumbies getting the 50/50s and seem to be playing much better. Better team at the moment

 

[Shiggins]

Wait what. Brumbies pick the ball straight out of a ruck and then the force get penalised?

 

[Shiggins]

Force with some big subs. Naisarani and Tony pulu who would be the forces best outside back.

 

[Shiggins]

It feels like the force were losing. Look at the score board. It's ok. We are up haha
