    The last to fall

    After last night's win, the Force have now defeated every team in the competition. The record for first win against each of the teams is -

    Cheetahs, 16-14, Saturday 6 May 2006, Absa Stadium, Kimberley
    Stormers, 22-3, Friday 9th February 2007, Newlands Cape, Town
    Bulls, 30-27, Friday 16th February 2007, Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria
    Hurricanes, 18-17, Friday 9th March 2007, Subiaco Oval, Mark Lawrence (RSA)
    Reds, 38-3, Friday 16th March 2007, Subiaco Oval, Brett Bowden (Aus)
    Sharks, 22-12, Friday 30th March 2007, Subiaco Oval, Lyndon Bray (NZ)
    Lions, 18-16, Friday 29th February 2008, Eliis Park, Johannesburg, Kelvin Deaker (NZ)
    Blues, 27-17, Saturday 15th March 2008, North Harbour Stadium, Albany, Craig Joubert (RSA)
    Highlanders, 36-28, Saturday 22nd March 2008, Queenstown, Mark Lawrence (RSA)
    Chiefs, 22-21, Saturday 3rd May 2008, Subiaco Oval, Perth, Marius Jonker (RSA)
    Brumbies, 29-22, Friday 16th May 2008, Subiaco Oval, Perth, Nathan Pearce (Aus)
    Waratahs, 15-14, Saturday 18th April 2009, Sydney Football Stadium, James Leckie (Aus)
    Crusaders, 24-16, Friday 23rd April 2010, ME Stadium, Jonathan Kaplan (RSA)

    (If anyone can fill in the gaps on the referee in each of the first three wins in RSA ...........).

    It looks like we would be much better off playing our home games on a Friday

    First game was Walsh wasn't it? The first 3 had kiwis anyway since it was still the 'non biased refs' era.

    We should play the Afrikaans at 3pm in the afternoon in Perthfontein, so it's the morning for them!

    The next goal is to score away wins over everyone.

    The teams we haven't beaten away are:

    Sharks
    Reds
    Chiefs
    Hurricanes
    Crusaders

    Fingers crossed we can eliminate one of those names in the next 3 weeks.

    Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

    Home wins against the Blues and Waratahs would be nice as well

    It's significant that only 6 of those 13 were at Spewbiaco. That is very much against the usual Super Rugby trend of home wins.


    MEBS is looking much more likely to become our fortress already.

    Blackswan - that last venue would be MES, not Subi!
    OK only 5 of the 13.
