Reds already in the final
Brumbies already in the qualifying final

Force can confirm a place in the qualifying final with a win

@duluth looking at that point spread you can see why Aus goes for the extra playoff round - with just a straight final this whole round would be meaningless.

[Duluth]

Was expecting a red card

[Stargazer]

I think the Red's player touched the ball; no obvious knock on Force player.

[Stargazer]

@duluth Just saw that again. Should have been a red IMO.

Wasn't even doubtful I thought, red everyday almost.

[Stargazer]

Wow, the Force are definitely fighting hard to get that semi-final spot.

It's getting close! 20 - 21 Reds

[Stargazer]

Hat-trick Jordan Olowofela. The Force are now in front, despite another player in the sin bin.

30 - 27 Force

[Stargazer]

Ah, damn.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Might be stating the obvious, but the difference between this game and the previous NZ game is vast.

[ARHS]

Yeehah. Fantastic stuff Force. Great effort and result

[Stargazer]

Wow, the Force just beat the Reds!

30 - 27 at full time.

[Stargazer]

That's the Reds' first loss of the season.

[KiwiMurph]

Fantastic try at the end by the Force - what a nudge by Kahui.

I agree with the criticisms on here of Damon Murphy in recent weeks - man is he a poor ref.

He is beyond shithouse.

That last scrum was a clear penalty to the Reds. What a joke.

[NTA]

That hit Kuridrani put on Paisami was a thing of beauty. Probably Kurdrani's best game in about 4 years.

In a good way?

I been a bit disappointed with Murphy, and I hate criticising refs, but he doesn't seem comfortable or relaxed when he reffing now. Bugger me and I kind of like keeping an eye on him as I was at very first senior game he reffed, was my club in Brisbane.

[NTA]

@dan54 club is his level. I've seen him on the sevens circuit and thought he was poor there, too
