Hurricanes v Force, Westpac Stadium, 5:30pm (EDT) Friday
FS2HD
Western Force have proven to many "experts" (particularly the one who tipped them to be "obliterated" by Crusaders last week) that they are not the worst mob of West Australians to confuse a Gilbert with a Sherrin.
Their backrow is hard, Kyle Godwin has game, and Alfie Mafi runs like a big scalded cat.
But the Hurricanes will have too many weapons at home Friday night, not the least of which is exciting wing-oxen Julian "Big Bus" Savea. When you’re over 100 kilos and can run very fast in various directions, you’re a proposition. Good to watch, the Bus.
Elsewhere halfback
TJ Perenara is having a handy season, Conrad Smith is doing lots of hard things hard, and
Victor Vito is among the game’s best backrowers.
The Force are strong and determined and play tight, professional rugby. But the Canes - while they were flogged by the Blues last week and the Force upset the Crusaders - are a 20-point better side at home.
Tip: Hurricanes by 20.
