Cummins and hooper were outstanding, tapuai showed what we have been missing at 12 and great to see Palu play a great game for 80 minutes, hopefully he stays injury free for a long time.
Want to see Pocock @6 vs Italy, will be a big improvement on Dennis and they can make the line outs work. Moore has to be starting also.
Especially going vertical..... He's obviously been to see Doktor G.
Ha ha love it! He's got the goods on and off the park!
A Western Force man is thrust (& not before time) on to the world stage!
And all you would-be poaching franchises put your cheque books away! He's an adopted WA boy, he may have been born elsewhere... but we raised him!
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
Hear, hear!
@HoneyBadger what a great interview, couldnt stop smiling hehe
He praised:
"Credit to the boys""A great ball from Phipper (he played well) putting me in space"All he said about himself was:"Robbie Deans knows what hes doing hes switched on, everyone respects him hes done a great job"
We are lucky to have him. Hope he plays out his career with the Force, he's exactly the type of honest, humble but motivated player and man we need."I got some test meat...a meat pie"
And we need to get #goingvertical trending!
The long sobs of autumn's violins wound my heart with a monotonous languor
I actually liked the purple. Going with the royal theme of the year i guess. Was a better performance this week. Was great the digby got pulled and not HB, as Ioane was quiet all match. I like HB's hard straight running. No duck and weave, go over the top instead of around. Not a lot of aussie wingers are like that at the moment. I only recall two mistakes from him, missing the high ball which resulted in the first penalty to Eng, and losing the ball in contact. He made a lot of the correct decisions, cutting inside when pushed towards the touchline. Great to see he finally is in the mix. (and getting ball)
I like barnes a lot better at 15 than fly or inside centre, he was solid under the high ball, kicked for the post wells, wasn't ever out of position much. Had more time to think on his next move.
Taps and AAC in the centres is a much better solution than we have had before. A passing/stepping inside, to a hard non-flashy outside, who can pass when needed.
Phipps wasn't as bad as i remember him, but still think we could use a better 9.
The forwards are for another post i think. good to see sharpie get a bit of claret![]()
