Force hit by Covid issues
Western Force have been hit by COVID ahead of Saturday’s Super Rugby Pacific clash against the Waratahs at HBF Park with two players in quarantine and Tim Sampson isolating and likely to be coaching from home.
Scrum-half Issak Fines, Wallabies second-rower Izack Rodda, and Sampson have all been ruled close contacts.
Their absence means a Force debut from the bench for home grown No.9 Michael McDonald and a first appearance this season for Ryan McCauley.

So we are 10 down after 7 mins !!
Make that 17-0 after 10 mins . We need a big comeback lol
Glad I couldn’t make it!

Letting the opposition build an unassailable 1st half lead! At least we’re consistent
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
its fucking embarassing!!!
The Crusaders couldn't run this lead down. Could be 50 before the break the way its heading.
