It's a physical, willing encounter tho. Fuck playing in that heat when fluffybunnies are smashing into each other and getting fired up.

Good try force.

And the brumbies score a maul try. Well I never.

Swain charge down led to that situation.

Prior's box kick charged down again. Jeez

Commentators so shit. Kahui runs the ball, commentators be like "KIHOOOOOWEEEEY"

@yeetyaah on the flip side, their impressions of Eddie Jones are on point.

Nice try there.

Bah, decent try there, but that will give the Brumbies the win.

Pretty entertaining second half tbh

WTF is up with the bright white sneakers on all the presenters? They're not 20 year old ladies.

Good game overall in terms of intensity. Why TF the played at 2PM instead of 4PM or later I will never know, given Canberra is in Australia, and has summer just like the rest of the country.

Force much better than last year but key errors - Prior getting charged 3 times, Fines-Leiliawasa had a poor period getting up to speed with the game, cost them a win. They'll challenge the Drua, Tahs, and Rebels for sure.

Brumbies... well they're the same cynical fluffybunnies they've always been, and were bloody lucky not to see yellow in the first quarter of the game. They've got good stocks and good coaching, but better refereeing across the competition would see them whistled off the park - always killing it under pressure, which is the reason they're the most penalised team in the comp.

It allows them to scream about their victimhood, so there's that.

Fair to say ,it was the game of weekend despite the first half being a bit of a grind ..a missed opportunity by the Force
