Force v British Lions

Lowe with a clear forward pass

Well the first half was fun, good on the Force for giving it a bit of a crack, but they were never going to have enough quality to stay with the Lions. Lions will be pretty happy with that hit out I think, perfect start to the tour for them (ignoring the Argentina match).
I love that there is rugby every Wednesday and Saturday for the foreseeable future. Hope some of the other Aus sides can give them more of a run for their money.

Oh and Pollock was a joy to watch, amazing talent, the biggest thing that stood out to me was his decision making. Top notch for a 20 year old! He has a huge future in the game.

If he stays fit and healthy, he'll be one of the games biggest stars for the next 15 years or so. Huge talent.

Whilst not traditional, I do like the names of the players on the back of the jerseys. Will definitely help for the Aussie (and non 6Ns) viewing public.

And the soccer fans.

I didn’t watch as am o/s.
But I see the Force had more possession and territory, had more carries, had to make less tackles and also missed less tackles, conceded less penalties, but got whacked by 47 points.
Yikes

It was one good play against the Force. Let's keep grounded with the praise.
Was about to say this, he has talent but let’s see what he’s got when he comes up against tougher opposition.
We’ll have to wait until next season’s 6N then, because even if he starts all three tests and scores 6 tries in each test all we’ll hear is how shit Australia are

By geez I enjoyed that game. Lions look a not bad team don't they, and certainly more effective playing that style with Russell at 10 than Finn Smith.. Force weren't bad, just got worn out by a fairly relentless Lions team. Very good, got up this morning and watched the 2nd half of Maori's game (got a bit late for me last night so went to bed at oranges), and then watched this one. Loved it, hell and next week we get Maori's./Scotland, followed by French test, Lions and Wallabies/Fiji on Sunday. I am set! Well of course club rugby first on Saturday!

I recorded this game to watch this morning. The Lions were obviously too good in the end, and the Force's lack of depth and quality on the bench was evident. But, Schmidt should be encouraged that the Force continually found holes in the midfield in the 1st half even if they weren't good enough to take those chances.
