This has to be it! A Home Win

[Goldmember]

Don't be suprised if this is another draw

Force: Could win their first Home game.
Lions: Could win their first Australian game.

This is going to be entertaining stuff!

Wow! My first automerged doublepost!

[AndyS]

I have to admit I'm nervous too. I've watched some of the Lions matches and I actually think the Force will have to lift some on last weeks performance - the Lions forwards are a bit more mobile that the Bulls (they may stand up better to being run around the ground) and their backs are a bit more potent (given the injuries last week to Habana et al).

[allsaints]

This is the week we demonstrate that we are contenders not pretenders!

Yeah JM seemed to think fitness was a large part of the win against the Bulls, with the big forwards jsut running out of steam etc. That wont be the case against the lions, there will be a real contest at the breakdown amoungst the loose forwards.

The Force will have to dig deep the Lions are pretty mobile around the park and they are comming off a big win themselves.

I guess it means we better get behind the boys big time on Saturday they have a tough match.

WIN or LOSE it will be a great game to watch as both teams need a win

The Force will be more hungrey for a Win than the Lions - they will want to break the Subi Hudoo and secure their position at the top of the table - but suspect Sir John is right it will be hard yakka and the more composed team will win - can't wait to sing that silly song

[AndyS]

Mind you, if we don't win games like this one, then we genuinely can't be considered contenders. We basically have to win, and probably win handily, to be considered a credible threat to any of the teams East of us (perceived one-off performances aside)

-------------------

So I think you're right TQO, it will come down to a mix of hunger and composure

GO THE FORCE
OUR FIRST HOME WIN

[shasta]

I know - and did we win?

Of course we did, Coach. Haig Sare scored the winning try. You should'nt always believe what's on the scoreboard. They have to rely on sight- challenged TMO's

[Darren]

The TMO must have spotted The Enforcer in the crowd..

[The EnForcer]

Hold on a minute, I'm no jinx My water is telling me that we are going to win and it's been pretty reliable this year. Believe in my water people and your wishes will come true.

[Burgs]

What's your water say about Finnish barmaids....

[The EnForcer]

I thought that was your area of expertise....is there an international flavour to Club Bush next weekend?

[shasta]

The water did you proud in SA. But geez $5.00 is tempting in a two horse race. Not quite as generous as the Vbookie, but still............. .

Can always take it and still shout for the Force, I suppose

[Burgs]

Turns it into a win win situation so I'm told shasta

Just down the "Three Rivers Rugby Club" this wekend TEF so I doubt there will be much "flavour" to be had there
May have to hit the road next weekend though, just to check she's ok

[tdevil]

I recon we'll do ok tomorrow (4 tries...at least)
We drew against them last year, but this time it's on our turf and the crowd will be so pumped up.
