Hard game to pick again for me. If it wasn't for the fact the Force got smashed last weekend I would probably have picked them as they are at home, and the Reds side is heavily depleted by injury. However the Reds have shown some signs of life in recent matches, though they do have 4 potential debutants on the bench. I guess I'm just going to have to be consistent and pick the Force to lose again, though I suspect it will be a tight match (though I was wrong about that last weekend!).

Like getting blood out of a stone trying to get the TMO to describe that knee.

I'm a Reds supporter but c'mon Force! Go to the playoffs!

 

[Darwin]

Well done to the Force. It basically means the Brumbies vs Force match next weekend is a knock-out match, with the winning going through to the playoffs.

and If your highlanders lose both matches we can possibly get to fourth. Not bad
