How cruel would it be if this was a draw? I have these two teams as level enough with home ground deciding it for me so might be close if I'm any sort of pundit..

I actually think the Kings can win this one. If the Force doesn't have a way to stop Cloete at the breakdowns, then the Kings might have a really good chance at snatching a win here.

I'm struggling with picking this one too. Both teams are bad but they haven't had much overlap in teams played so it's difficult to gauge who is worse. I'm going to go with the Force winning this one as well, but wouldn't be surprised if the Kings pull it off.

The Kings definitely have some bite to them this season, I was thinking along the same lines. But Dane Haylett-Petty is at least in some form and could be the difference.

I think people are underestimating the Force here. They are a solid side at home, which should be enough against the Kings.

Force by 10
