I should be at the pub after our major charity day on Saturday. Will it be with watching? 🤔
Based on their efforts against the Reds, I'd say yes. The Force are nobodies.

I've seen the Tahs lose often enough to unfancied opposition - Farce included - to take nothing for granted

Fuck I recognise only a third of the Tahs, so they are not exactly stacked with big names!
And the force have an All Black!

No, we're blooding a lot of young guys at the moment. The exciting ones to watch are Mark Alphabet on the wing, Harrison at 10, Harris at 8 and Bell at prop. All from our good U20s side last year.

Force swapped out the the purply-blue & black for a yellow & black Jersey, or is this their away kit?
Anywho, they’re up 3-0 after 20 mins.
Shit rugby compared to the Crusaders Blues game that’s for sure.
Edit: It must be an away kit you fool, otherwise they’d clash with NSW!!!

Commentators going on and on about Stander but you'd struggle to find a guy that's easier to defend against. He's groundwards bound before a tackler even gets close! You literally just need to advance towards him.
To be fair there hasn’t been much else to get excited about in the match so far.
