How we going? I'm away at work
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
6-10 @ halftime. Wykes off with an ankle issue. Gus on.
Started crap but picked up towards the end of the half.
Jump on Twitter & find the force's feed for updates if you can't watch
Cheers Jono. All social media sites blocked I'm afraid (not this one tho)

Anyone know what happened to alby? He didn't seem happy when he was replaced?
Who's skipper with Wykes gone?

Well, if we had any fraction of an attacking plan we would have been well able to win that one. We didn't have any clue at all when we had the ball.
Attack coach required desperately.

Now, before we all start off where we normally do after a loss.
Did anyone honestly & realistically expect a win tonight? Or anything less than a lesson? I was thinking at least 25 points down.
But I'm going to bed so post as you will. Most likely won't bother opening this thread again anyway
Interesting... was Pek off?

Just dragged I would say, I can see right down the tunnel and when he went down he punched a door on the side of the tunnel, he was not happy!
80 Minutes, 15 Positions, No Protection, Wanna Ruck?

Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
Can't fault the guys efforts, they had fire in the belly tonight. Think we looked better without Wyksey.
Still looks like no plan in attack, constantly kicking the ball away. At least some of the kicks were contest able. The grubber should be banned. Desperately need a good attack coach
Not sure how the Stormers didn't have a man binned at the end there.
Was a good match. Was expecting a big loss so thought we did well and fought all the way. So close for a try so many times!
And he was hanging way back on the ground after the game - very definitely not happy Jan!

Shame about the result as the Force played most of the rugby, but realistically they were in attack a lot without genuinely challenging the defence. But really good to see all the players fighting to make ground in the tackle, made a big difference on how many opportunities were created. Still don't really seem to have a plan once they did it though - really seem to lack some go-to strategies other than the one-off hit-up. Much better than last week though, and even had the ball find some players in motion.
With a few backline plays and a bit of composure that could have been a famous win. Was a bit surprised they took the scrums at the end rather than a line-out, and really didn't understand the strategy at the death. If there was going to be a try, it had to be definitively clear because the moment the ref went to the TMO it was game over one way or the other. For mine they really needed to either set up a maul, or go to the backline. But it was only for the draw anyway, so it hardly mattered.
Better overall, and good to see how some of the players are progressing. Might need to have a think about how we use the NRC this year though...the Rebels seem to be reaping far better benefit from their approach.
I know it is not good to discuss some interpretations of the ref but I was shocked at the last 10 mins
Just to say The boys played well great to see so many punching up and trying we had 60% territory and ball and yes some mistakes were made but all in all a good game 90% Still some wayward kicking...
Force had all the play in Stormer half and they got us back into our 22 and we infringed being offside ( Yes Luke was ) and out comes a card.. 3 points to stormers.. The boys get back on the stormers try line and the infringe with offside ( White 12 was the call )no card advantage played next call stormers off side ( white 19 offside is the call )again no card..
I have sports ears and listened to the ref calls and linesmen calls Some were a bit wayward and letting the stormers away with some ( white 12 ) off side calls... The penalty try was very harsh 1st infringements and they award a try no warnings nothing....
