    Don't be surprised if this force team take longer to break down than people are expecting. They have a hard working, nuggety pack with 4 internationals in the tight five. Even when out classed, and giving up early leads, they tend to hang close to teams and still be in games into the last quarter. Also NZ teams rarely play well in those midnight kick off games in Perth when your body clock is telling you that you should be asleep. Hopefully being in Oz for the extra week will help with that adjustment. I think the experience and class of Christie and Barrett will be the difference in the end.
    Edit: Then again, I heard Richard Kahui on the radio saying that they only trained once this week due to players isolating. It will be interesting to see how their energy levels are after the Covid enforced week off. The 6-2 bench should help.

    Just look at last year. The Blues smashed them in the first half then let the foot off the gas. The Force won the second half 21-3

                    That's a really soft penalty by RTS.

                      Good hit from a blues player before that penalty.

                                  Is the audio way out of sync for anyone else? Like when the ref was talking.
