@African-Monkey How has Zac Lomax played so far?
Positioning on defence got exposed last time out once or twice, but he's a weapon in the air, even if it was overdone somewhat against the Crusaders, and I did like that he was looking for work off the ball too. I think once he gets uo to speed with everything, he could end up being a fairly decent player, potentially even centre, but not just yet.

Don't like Kuenzle being dropped to the bench.
Soon to be leaving as well.

Scottish teams could try selecting Scottish players for their sides. It's looking like a massive reversal replay of the Highland Potato Famine.
@African-Monkey the form of Harvey should see the Tahs through.

I'm picking an upset here. I think the Force have played some great rugby this year and have demanded a bit of respect with the way they've stayed in the fight.
@Canes4life Not even sure it would be an upset

The only team that'll be bombing in his direction now will be the Force.
And his team mates should be f'n ready for the f'n off-load!

Haha
The potato famine was Ireland.
The highland scots got cleared because there was more money in sheep . . . nice.
I had a look at the Glasgow and Edinburgh squads.
30 foreigners over both squads.
And the origin of some of the "Scots" looks a bit dodgy as well.
Satala, born in Scotland, but came up thru the Leicester system.

the Highland Potato Famine.
Well done Force.
What a cripple fight that was. I'm surprised anyone in Sydney attends to watch this Tahs team.
Scoreline flattered the Tahs. The Force beat them up for most of that game, Blues like, led by Paeang-Amosa and Williams, with De Crespigny ably supporting them. Pietsch was also busy and was our best back with Grealy a close second.
Should have won by more, wasn't the prettiest, but an away win is a good win. Well done Force.
@African-Monkey Pietsch was very good. Absolutely dominated Kellaway. Monstrously stupid decision by the Tahs to keep kicking contestables down that side.

It's funny because a lot of the high balls in the first half were for Lomax, but Creighton ate them up, so Pietsch became the target and was brilliant. I really like his workrate.
Another thing I didn't give credit for was Tizzano. His breakdown pressure was imprrssive.
@antipodean said in Waratahs v Force:
Jeez that half was a difficult watch.
I got up this morning to watch, and geez, I now on computer as I can't keep watching.
