Eight-try Force crush sad Lions
(I copied the best parts of the article and added some comments)
The Western Force scored eight tries in crushing a disintegrating Auto & General Lions side 55-14 in their Vodacom Super 14 match in Perth on Friday.
The Lions had problems in the front row, lost too many of their own lineouts, spilled the ball in contact and missed tackles. Some of the tactical kicking was on the same level. This was the result of a committed effort by the force forward pack applying so much pressure to the lions forward pack and playmakers fumbled on more than one occasion
The team that had looked so good in beating the Red the previous week was nowhere to be seen.
Even if the Lions often made their opponents look good, the Force showed why they had beaten all the other Australian sides in a rare clean sweep this year.
Their performance may also be a pointer to the strategy that the Wallabies could adopt in the Tri-Nations later in the season. and hopefully this will convince the likes of JOC and others that haven't signed with the Force yet that a John Mitchell driven Force will be unstoppable next year
An all-capped backline, conducted by maestro Giteau, attacked at pace, created space, handled well enough and exposed an unorganised Lions defence. I hope that Gits knows that it will not be that easy next year
In addition to the tries they scored, they came close to scoring on four other occasions.
