Apologies for missing last week. Most of the aussie cricket team was in the Maldives gluing our glorious white sand to their jocks.
Between 2008 and 2014 the Highlanders were our bunnys with the Force Winning 6 straight home and away.
Force v Highlanders - last game, remember it? After a tough match against the Chiefs in Perth on the 22 April the Force travelled to a 2 game tour of South Africa then onto Argentina where they beat the Jaguares then completed a circumnavigation of the globe 35,000km on eight flights over 16 days to arrive back in Perth mid week to meet the red hot Highlanders who had been resting in Perth all week. Thanks SANZAAR.
Still, the Force, without Hodgo and McCalman out to injury and Perth Grant being knocked out in the opening minutes and down 17-6 at half, the fatigue set in and Highlanders ran out winners 55-6.
All water under the bridge now. Apart from blowout wins to both sides once, all games bar 1 between these rivals have been by a margin of less than 13 and most less than 7.
The bookies are tipping a Highlanders win.
