@Mr-Fish looks like it, I thought him and Reihana have been very equal out there

Fihaki out.

@george33 Thanks George - Just amended my Fantasy team. No doubt he'll play and have an absolute blinder!

@antipodean good luck

@Mr-Fish said in Force v Crusaders:

I would argue that the Crusaders might actually do better playing away from home in the finals. They benefit from stodgy winter weather, which will be mitigated somewhat by playing under the roof.

I don't have much fear of playing away at NZ venues. I don't want to go to Brumbieland.

Aside from Big Tamaiti, who we definitely won't have (and is a major loss), we could go:

Bower, Taylor, Newell, SBarrett, Shalfoon, Grace, Blackadder, Lio-Willie, Hotham, Faingaánuku, Reihana, Havili, Ennor, Reece, Jordan.

Which is, to my mind, our best XV - and almost totally different from this week.

We're better off playing at home, though. But, we won't have much of that this year.

Oli Mathis also in for a debut off the bench (along with Bell)

Good to see Springer back eh @canes4life

@bellsgeorg what a run.

Kemara is really coming into some form

Another 5 tries incoming

Force aren't very smart, guys lying all over the show trying to play the ball

Hannah held up by a halfback

Fire-anger-are-nookoo

Have the Force had the ball on attack yet in the Saders half?

I can't decide if Bell has had a haircut or is growing his hair

Man McNicholl is great value for an old bastard.

Unreal finish

Fair play Johnny, bravo!

Deft kick by Macca. More often than not those kicks bounce out of bounds.

Old man thumb is a bitch

I do like how both Peach and Tizzano always attack the ball hard when it hits the deck.
