the brumbies were so arrogant,they did not have to rest all those test players for this match-they thought they could get away with it,bit them on the bum
Wow and eighty minutes team performance, highlighted by a dominant last 15 minutes.
Incredibly proud of our team today after that performance.
It has been building and suddenly those green shoots blossomed.
While we may still not make the finals, we have to be as proud as punch with that effort and work rate.
That was due reward for the players, the coaching staff, the back and front admin staff, the supporters, the fans, the members and the sea of blue at the ground.
Reluctantly, I will post the stats as I feel it was an overall team performance and the win belongs to everyone involved.

the Brumbies brought over half a team. Fuck em.
The score board still shows them as the ACT Brumbies. Not Brumbies A. Not Brumbies*. Not Brumbies Reserves.
They fronted up to HBF Park wearing the Brumbies Jersey. The Boys sent them home battered, bruised and with a L for the Season and no bonus points to show for it.
The record shows that the Western Force defeated the ACT Brumbies by 34-19. Its our win. And I will take it.
Fuck em!

It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth.

That’s much better work stats from the forwards. Really strong effort.
.
Impressive effort.No TO stats this week Tazz? I think I posted earlier I thought it was Wells' best shift so far. He was ok but I meant to say Williams. He's improving every week.

Absolutely. Will be very interesting to see what approach the Chiefs take too, seeing as they are eight points out in front. Even more so in that it will be the last game played of the regular season, knowing all prior results.
The Chiefs could very well be in the position of not needing any sort of result, able to rest whoever they like ahead of the finals, and able to decide which team they'll be playing in the first week...
How good was Pulu coming off the Bench??
had some fantastic runs - very much an impact player.

I'd personally cheer for the Reds. If they go 2/2, we are all the safer in 8th place. If the Highlanders win 2, we need 2 wins.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
I thought Bernie’s press conference was pretty good. He explained pretty quickly that the strategy for this game was the same as the crusaders game and was to do with a 6 day turn around, travel and the need to rest players. This was decided in November last year.
