Clarkie says: "These two Aussie teams are coming off losses last week but at least the Tahs had a decent crack after their disrupted travel to Dunedin. They very nearly beat the Highlanders with a squad that is missing some big names because of injury. The loss of Cliff Palu was crucial because he would have given them some extra thrust around the paddock. They can’t afford to take the Force lightly but they’ll feel great about being back at their spiritual home Allianz Stadium (formerly SFS). It’s only round four but it’s already crunch time for the Force. They’re winless and have two games on the road before they head back to Perth for a block of four home fixtures. The forward pack can compete, and we all know how valuable David Pocock is to the side, but it’s the backline that’s causing major concerns. They’re low on talent because of injuries, and they lack direction around the paddock. Makeshift fly half James Stannard is the only back that has scored a try (2) in three games so far. If they can keep it tight they might have a chance to pull off a much needed upset, but I doubt they can match the Tahs out wide at the moment."
