61 years between Grand SlamsWas the wait worth it - Ya betta baby
Can anyone remember if this is Haig's first outing in a force jersey at 13 ?

I think it was a typo error- pretty sure its haig on 11 and jnr and tatupu 12 and 13
I thought we didn't have Horua anymore...or I'm I just dreaming?
we still have Horua!

I thought so too, but if that's the case then this journo read the press release and got it wrong too.
"Lock Pat O'Connor will don the ocean blue jersey for the first time since recovering from back-to-back knee reconstructions, with another injury victim Junior Pelesasa named on the left wing."
O'Connor handed Wilkinson test
Sitaleki Timani has gone to Canberra

its a good team...
BOKKE“Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White
spoke to my oracle about the team and he said the following:
Filipe Manu is an open side flanker from Manly
Valeni Tia Tia and Justin Turner are local lads from Kalamunda
Haig Sare has played at 13 for us in the pre season warm up against the Cheetahs in 2006.

KALAMUNDA? When I lived there I never heard of them. ah well, all the more reason to get behind them and support them into the Force!

good to see holmesy starting at hooker, thats one player that should be starting games next season.............
looks a good team on paper GO THE FORCE
Justin Turner played for WA state schoolboys 2007 (Hale) and 2008(Tafe) and has been named by the ARU as the only rep from WA in the Australian Rugby Schoolboys team to take on Fiji in September - can't find offical clubs for these lads
