hmmmm I don't think kicking it to touch was the best bet with 30sec left on the clock and being one point behind.

Naive at the end!

Why the force did he kick it out?
Who? kicked it out??? Who...I will give him a bloody good slap.....AAARRGH!!!
ensured a bonus point,they were completely knackered at the end;the chance of a end to end try in those conditions were very remote
Pissed off we lost. Even more pissed off that fox sports treats us like the reds pre match show!! Sigh on the positive side we fought hard..

Can't wait to see the replay...
well done boys Will not knock the boys they played well Subs came to late Rory should have come on at soon as KB went to the bin... the boys defended the line so well Honey B and the backline doing better...
The refs have been told to keep the force away from winning to make sure the top teams don't get loses
Reffing was a little wayward Players from the chiefs going off their feet at breakdown more than us...
If I was The chiefs I would not go to the dressing room coze they would have a coaching staff with cannons blazing they played really bad against 14 men and with ref on their side...
Go the force
I am 1 happy Supporter with that effort
I never like to be one of the whiners who blame the ref for a loss. But fuck it's close. We will get better and take the fuckers out of the equation. The combinations in the backline looked pretty good in the conditions. If that continues we will see some nice outcomes in the next 5 home fixtures.
The D was enormous yet again, particularly after K- Bomb was carded. Must be good to be able to sub on a 137kg monster in that situation. :S
PS I was gonna say "I'm not breaking the habit of a lifetime for that Pratt", but I think someone has said that before.

My opinion, turning point. HTF can after the ref has penalised Force 6 times in a row, for even putting a hand on the ground on the other side of the ruck, do this?

Hey Tg can't see the video its private
We can't keep relying on defence for parity. We have to hold on to the ball and keep structure for longer periods
We're killing ourselves, forcing ourselves to defend like that constantly.
I thought the reffing was diabolical in that first half! We were getting pinged for the same things the Chiefs were getting away with. Same with the scrum penalty where K-Bomb got marched - what about the Chiefs binding?
Anyway - great heart shown again by the boys. Building to bigger and better things. I for one am bloody proud to wear my Force jersey!!
Look, as shit as it is to endure yet another close loss, against poor reffing and missing the bounce of the ball a couple of times, if somebody asked me whether I'd take a one point loss to the chiefs this morning, I would have kissed their feet!
The boys have finally put in two gutsy performances in a row, and they have been against two quality sides. Yes we can do better in attack, but I'm pretty sure a wise man said something about championships being built on D.
We have some spark arriving next year to spruce up the attack, so I'll be happy with a great defense for the rest of the year.
