[Darwin]

Hard game to call. Man-for-man the Blues have by far the stronger lineup in my opinion, but they have been pretty hopeless away from Eden Park this season, and Perth is never an easy trip to make.

I'm picking the Blues by 5, but it is really a 50:50 match for me....

It will be a tough game, Force has the advantage of playing at home and also will be motivated to qualify for the playoff for the first time in Super Rugby history, there is no greater motivation than that.

uhhh, Really?. Not once have you tipped the force except for the lions game.

 

[Darwin]

So are you agreeing the Blues start this match as favourites?

Nick Cummins is in doubt for the Force with a neck injury. He would be a big loss if he was ruled out

 

[Jaguares]

Badger is ruled out...

You're looking like a right fool now, Darwin

 

[Jaguares]

OMG! Blues is dominating the game

Blues 14 - Force 0. Only 10 minutes

Tries by West and Faumuina

 

[Darwin]

You're looking like a right fool now, Darwin

I think you are missing the tiny "0" that I included after the 5....

I jest of course. It is clear the only reason the Blues are winning is because the ref is cheating

EDIT: And another try for the Blues! Have the Force made a kick this match that hasn't been charged down?

I meant for picking the Blues at all, actually.

 

[Darwin]

Nonu...... Bonus point already!

 

[Jaguares]

4 tries by Blues in only 18 minutes

WTF??!! Game over

 

[RoosTah]

What the f##k Force? It's like week 1 all over again.

 

[Jaguares]

What the f##k Force? It's like week 1 all over again.

Why Force's players are wearing different colored socks as Baa-Baas?

 

[Darwin]

The Blues defense has been pretty impressive so far!

 

[squirrel]

it was due too happen to the force, once they fall behind they don't have the strike power too fight back

 

[Big Ewis]

like, say what you want about Ma'a Nonu, but the man's got a great ass.

And what about Bastareaud's ass?

 

[Big Ewis]

And what about Bastareaud's ass?

...you think this is funny ?? Are you calling him fat, is this what this is ??...Conrad, you're being really inconsiderate of other people's feelings sometimes, you know that ?!
