Wicked!! Its good to see they are taking Force seriously :)
awesome comments from the kiwi's... I think that they firmly believe that we should have won the match...
But what can be done now... we cant overturn the results and have the try actually awarded which would give us the win... so we are going to have to be happy knowing that we actually won and accept the draw :(
I hope the result doesn't get the boys down. They thoroughly deserve to skin the cats.
The maybe next year they can.
Pony the Brumbies.
Turn the Reds pink.
Deflower the Tahs (or maybe not).
Make the Blues sing the blues.
Buck the Bulls (yes I said buck)
Be a force against the Hurricanes.
Weather the stormers.
Crusade in Cristchurch
Skin the cats.
Skin the cheetahs.
Catch the Sharks, hook, line and sinker.
Say how to the Chiefs
and.. err.. beat the Highlanders
So in the next 3 weeks,
Skin the Cats
Spey the Cheetahs?
Catch the Sharks
Bring it aawwnnnn!!!
Nice to see the Kiwi's recognising the true story of the game.

You're pretty safe Exile, it's a female thing ;)
Would probably prefer to "pluck the Waratahs" thanks all the same Sage :)
Agree that it is a great article considering its source.
We must let the moment pass though and focus on both the positives of the match and the fact we have three winable fixtures left in SA to finish the season.
As Dramoth says, we can't overturn the result so we just need to knuckle down to that which can be impacted upon, that is the future.
Mathematically we can finish with 19 points which, if the Reds and Stormers fail to get anymore points, could move us right up to eleventh (and third of the Australians) after the last round.
Over the course of time this would be seen as a respectable start for a new franchise.
Hehe no worries Burgs, have it your way. :)
I am hoping the players can let it go and focus on the Cats game, sounds easy as they're professional players but it has to be disheartening.
I thought Exile was a girl? Thats what TEF is always calling him ...
Respectable would be an understatement. I feel a tri-win commin up. and with copious amounts of points to spare. go the force. :)Quote:

Im gonna be proud just to see the boys finish :) they have been doing a great job and I hope they know it :)
Two wins now against the Cats and Cheetahs will end the season off nicely. Don'y worry about total points or position on ladder. Two wins and a draw is BETTER than Crusaders first year '96.
There are so many positives to take from this year already, and a huge thanks to the Subi crowd for their show against the Crus of 30,000! . The Reds 16,000 for their last two game looks pale in comparison.
All that the Force need to do to close out the season, is to close out a win, then another win!
