If he's any good he can replace George Bridge.

Kicking off now

@Duluth And ruled out with hamstring tightness.

Good start from the Force. Liking the chamges they've made so far.

Sadly for the Force, their scrum is non existant. Reds 12-7.

Force finished the half really strongly and lead 21-12. Donaldson definitely outplaying Gordon.

Force in again through Grealy. Beautiful hands. Kuenzle to 12 has been a masterstroke so far. O'Keeffe being very inconsistent at breakdown, been a good effort from the Force especially as they're on the wrong end of a 9-2 penalty count.

21-12 Force at halftime.

Donaldson is from Sydney. How did he end up in Perth?

Molina also having a big game so far.

Lancaster scores and looks like he injures himself in the process!

Why can’t they just use common sense anymore. In no world should that be a yellow. Yes there was slight contact but that does not deserve a yellow

lol how is that a yellow card? Ffs I agree @landers92 where is the common sense?

@Tim Waratahs preferred Tane Edmed over him in 2023 so signed for the Force in 2024.

@Canes4life a penalty at most. It’s like they are scared to use common sense or something

That Canes hiding last week has really rattled the Reds. Force pulling away now.

12-35 to the Force

Lucky for the Reds then as it is allowing them to stay within twenty three points of the Force with just quarter of an hour left.

Well done Western Force 40 points at Suncorp and my Multi is a winner 🫡

Some game by the Force’s Argie lock Molina.

Molina with a triple!!! Great work Force. Easily a MOTM performance from Molina. The Force were more direct this week, and played more aerial too from 10, playing to their strengths. Hopefully Lancaster isn't too badly injured. Daly filled in well for Tizzano, and Stewart's extra boot he added worked.

That must've been a humiliation for the Reds at Suncorp?

Is McReight the most overrated 7 in world rugby? He’s been a non event the last two weeks.

@Canes4life Injured? Seems a big step down from last year.

Huge win for the Force. Humiliation for the Reds. Harder to see them making the playoffs now after being terrible two weeks in a row.

And what of in-coming Wallabies coach Les Kiss?

You could be right. He hasn’t been impactful for the Reds at all lately.

Na mate, world class. It's only because in the last two weeks he's come up against two international heavyweights in Peter Lakai and (checks teamsheet...) 27-year-old Super Rugby debutant Jack Daly that he's looked ordinary.

Almost a 30 point difference. Disgusting. Wouldn't happen in NH club rugby.

Unfortunately, it’s not just the last two weeks though. He crumbled last year as well.

Well... he was pretty influential in the Aussies beating the Boks last year.

The ABs could only wish they had a 7 who had the same impact as McReight at international level in the past 2 years.

At a guess McReight's Insta game is pretty weak.
