[QUOTE="Dumbo, post: 98775"] I know this has been already listed but being old and having the attention span of a gold fish I prefer to see things in the following format; [b]Head to Head: [/b] Western Force: 1. Gareth Hardy 2. Brendan Cannon 3. Troy Takiari 4. Rudi Vedelago 5. Nathan Sharpe © 6. David Pusey 7. Richard Brown 8. Scott Fava 9. Matt Henjak 10. James Hilgendorf 11. Cameron Shepherd 12. Matt Giteau 13. Ryan Cross 14. Scott Staniforth 15. Drew Mitchell Res. 16. Tai McIsaac 17. Angus Scott 18. Luke Doherty 19. David Pocock 20. Chris O’Young 21. Junior Pelesasa 22. Haig Sare Highlanders: 1. Chris King 2. Jason Macdonald 3. Clarke Dermody 4. Kane Thompson 5. James Ryan 6. Hoani MacDonald 7. Josh Blackie © 8. Craig Newby 9. Jimmy Cowan 10. Callum Bruce 11. Viliame Waqaseduadua 12. Jason Kawau 13. Matthew Saunders 14. Lucky Mulipola 15. Craig Clare Reserves 16. David Hall 17. Jamie Mackintosh 18. Alando Soakai 19. Toby Morland 20. Charlie Hore 21. Greg Zampach Front row: I think there pretty even really, Cannon's got the experience but so has Dermody. Should be a good battle anyway. Locks: Sharpe vs Ryan, great match up... thinking things are pretty even there too. Lose Forwards: Going with the Highlanders there as Blackie and Newby are a good combo. Half's: Henjak vs Cowan is pretty even (I'll give Cowen the nod over Henjak) and Hilgendorf vs Bruce... don't underestimate Bruce... not a lot of experience but playing full time in the roll of 1st5 last year will have done him good (again pretty even with Hilgendorf getting the nod). Centres: Comes crashing down here for the Highlanders though as both their centres are not the most experienced... Outside backs: Big advantage to the Force here as well... keep an eye on Waqaseduadua though as he can embarrass any team's defence. OK, know that I've seen the head to head I'm going for a shock win for the Highlanders. Why? If their forwards can shut the Force out then the potent Force's backline may not be the dominating factor in the game. But it's speculative... [/QUOTE]
