Gotta love the crowd though!
C'mon Force!
Lots of over the shoulder tackles by the force
Are they legit?
what a nailbiter..these handling errors are frustrating
I think both sides forgot how to play Rugby during the warm ups.
It takes a real talent to lose against that poor an opposition...
And the Highlanders are my "NZ team"...

We created plenty of chances and couldn't execute to finish off. Made a lot of dumb mistakes, but we backed ourselves. We'll go back to the drawing board and work hard for next week. But we'll take the positives.................
Well there was actually one. Our 20yo prop scrummed very well against experienced opposition. Good job Marley.

Interesting that the commentators kept mentioning that the Force kicks more than any other team.
I wonder if that has anything to do with our win/loss ratio?
May the FORCE be with you!
Just wish Donaldson would practice goal kicking, we’re leaving up to 9 points on the field in nearly every game. Tonight we would have won by 2. Support play dropped off a bit from last week-getting bullied off the ball again. But some great scrums, pity they couldn’t get a rolling maul happening. Thought the ref was pretty fair, letting play flow, but missing a lot of forward passes.
Disappointing why couldn’t play like last week! It’s been a season of two highs and a lot of lows
That was one of the most frustrating games I've seen.
We are so Jekyll and Hyde. One week the scrum getting bent over, and the line out is good. Then the opposite?!
Bottom line is we still can't put 2 together!
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
So many opportunities to win that game, but we just didn't have the patience or ball security. Way too many little grubbers just giving away possession when we were in good positions and a couple of very costly knock ons from Prinsep. He gets through a lot of work, but I feel we need a bigger ball runner there in Harris.
We convincingly lost the kicking battle. The highlanders 15 had an outstanding game and was really the difference.
On the plus side, Marley was really good and so was Williams. Rodda a bit quieter than expected, but great to have him play the full 80 too.
IFL seems to have lost his mojo this year. Hasn't been giving us the lift in the pace of attack that he usually does. That hesitation and forward pass at the end killed a great opportunity.
Such a frustrating game!
Isaac needs to be on much sooner if Donaldson is struggling. As the telling stat that was mentioned during the game we kick the most in the competition. Hence last on the table. The game has changed that most teams tuck the ball in now and have a dash.
We are very effective at kicking duels to the point the opposition has good field position to attack...
For the most kicking team we are really shit at it, if you can't achieve getting it out at least get it towards the touch rather than continual "free hits" centre field!
