Hooper got MOM, I kid you not
Well done guys - ballsy, smart rugby. I'm sure Foles and "The Game Callers" as Dog called them, have prepared a different but appropriate game plan to stuff Braindead Dick next week. Bring it on.
I wonder if the press headlines will read tomorrow "GALLANT MICHAEL HOOPER IN MAN-OF-THE-MATCH PERFORMANCE"..?
There were tahs I'd pick before hooper.
Rob Horne scored two tries
The entire front row salvaged a weak looking scrum and finished the game dominant
Israel Folau did things
Cliff Palu was noticeable (ok mainly for getting sent off and looking worried when he was hit in a good tackle)
As a matter of fact, the only two I'd put below Hooper would be Beale (absolute disaster) and the big winger dude who couldn't hang on to the ball.
You've got to be kidding..

I like that the Force were able to change it up on the fly. When the Tahs were smothering them with a flat rush defence early on, they switched to a second-man play and would have got round them had the ball stuck. Nice to see a team thinking on their feet.
My understanding is some of their pre season training has been working that ability to switch immediately from attack to defence and back again when required, it showed up well yesterday, like with Mozza try from Albys kick :approve:
