[QUOTE="Dumbo, post: 105568"] The Force after dispatching the Canes last week take on the Reds who got humped by the Highlanders get to try and win another one at home. The Force is the current Australian team with momentum, while the Reds are still struggling. Force should be clear favorites in this one as it’s pretty obvious the Reds are struggling. On the injury side I haven’t heard much from the Force but the Reds still are without key inderviduals. Big Rodney Blake should be going under the knife and won’t be able to play, talented Clinton Schifcofske could be set to return, as for the MANY others missing I’m not sure. One highlight for the Reds in the combination of young guys Quade Cooper (who surprisingly turned out to be Kiwi born) and Berrick Barnes. For the Reds to have a shot these two really are going to have to step up to deal with Matt Giteau and Junior Pelesasa (if selected at 2nd5), I for one think they can. Last week’s effort from these two against the Highlanders was truly inspirational and if they can gain further momentum on that performance then it could be all on. Ben Tune on Ryan Cross should be a highlight as well as don’t think either is going to be taking the game lightly. Also as a local match… fists could fly in this one. Force in a close one. [/QUOTE]
