Western Force vs Brumbies - Saturday 10th May 2025

[drewprint]

All respect to the Force here but I’m hoping the Brumbies get up, would love them to jag a top 2 finish.

 

[Shiggins]

Henry Robertson has been getting a few starts. Will be interesting to see how he goes here.

Brumbies must be big favorites. Especially with tizzano out. But the force have been very good at home. Makes me think of how the Brumbies beat Moana in NZ though. Was it 22 nil. And Moana can score trys. Force bombed a bag of trys against the blues early. Can't do that tonight

 

[Shiggins]

Can we bring the badger on for a cameo ? Please haha

 

[Shiggins]

Great intercept from Swaine. Interesting they must be looking at it.

 

[Shiggins]

Beale did it all then dropped it cold !

 

[Shiggins]

Robertson tackling Bobby V is classic. Bobby just stood there

 

[Shiggins]

Great defence force. Couple harsh penalties but they are keeping the Brumbies in the force half.

 

[Shiggins]

Force competing well at the lineout forcing the ref to call it not straight

 

[Shiggins]

Poor handling from the force. Already 2 unforced errors in the first 11 minutes.

 

[Shiggins]

Make that 3 unforced errors

 

[Shiggins]

Force look a bit lost. Defending well but handling errors, sort penalties and indecision not good. From a team that usually starts very well at home they are not showing it tonight.

 

[Shiggins]

Very scrappy game. Force have had so many handling errors so far. Donaldson and Beale rushing decisions and giving the ball back to the brums.

Probably some nerves. This is a season defining game.

Force are playing at a better pace though.

Gotta stay in the fight as the Force stay in games for the 80

Fucking hell Noah. What a stick up to Wright.

 

[Shiggins]

Did the touchie not have his flag up. Brumbies with a cynical penalty there.

 

[Wilson]

Touchie absolutely ballsed that up

He second guesses himself and puts it down

 

[Pokinacha]

Lolesio got folded there…

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Can’t comprehend how that’s play on with Toole out. Something is so so wrong with the reffing in this comp.

If players were at the standard of the refs they’d be dropped. But we see them again next week…
