If Chris Mickelson gets off the bench, it will be his debut.

ah shit i havent been paying attention then

He's coming back from a major injury so hasn't been very impactful yet. Apparently it takes a good 6 months to get back to where he would have been prior to the injury.

The Force need to improve their box kicking.

14-10 Brumbies at HT. Been a real arm wrestle so far, the Force have recovered well after a poor start. Problem is, is the Brumbies have come away with points more often than not when they have entered the 22.

Who’s dumber, Darcy Swain or Isaia Walker-Leawere?

African Monkey

Get Stewart off and Kuenzle on. The high ball will only get you so far.

That was a penalty? Australian refs cheat for the Brumbies in Canberra.

A joke that.

Despite that poor call on Pietsch, Brumbies won fairly comfortably in the end, choking the Force into submission. Pietsch was the only highlight for the Force too, he has a high workrate and will no doubt feature heavily for the Wallabies this year.

Yeah he’s surely a lock on the left wing, Jorgensen on the right wing, Wright will be the fullback once he gets back up to speed.

Yeah, that's pretty much what it will be, injury pending of course.

Will be nice to be able to watch the Force at home again, feels like they've been on the road forever lol.
