Force v Lions, 2017

[zimeric]

well we should've beaten the Tahs and we did beat the Reds so we're in with a chance

[GIGS20]

I can only talk about the highlights that I've watched, so definitely not a complete impression.

Lions look to be trying to be the south African chiefs. Looking to move the ball, play expansively and counter-attack.

They haven't been playing that way as long and don't look to be as confident at it. They also seem to be a bit leaky in defense at times.

They score a Lot of points, but can be vulnerable to having points scored on them.

In that regard, I'm expecting them to sit somewhere between the chiefs and the kings. We'll need to play bloody good rugby to beat them, but if we get over the line it won't be the upset it would if it had been the chiefs.

I'm expecting a high scoring game that we have a chance to win. If we can limit their scoring opportunities to penalty kicks and score enough Points of our own, we can come away with the chocolates, but it'll take over 80 minutes of supreme effort.

Sorry the crowd a lot smaller. Still not a great time for families

[SinBin]

Would've thought a yellow was in order for the constant cynical stuff when we're close to their line!

Late kick off combined with the derby on tonight? Not a good combo.

Mike Fraser making it up at scrum time all night.

Talk about coming in with pre conceived ideas.

Another ref that screws the Force time and time again

[GIGS20]

I'm just going to say that I'm sick of brave losses.

Especially when they come with a side of injurise

[sittingbison]

Force will not win again this year....you heard it here first
