Olowafela's first start marked by a win Jordan played the full 80 mins, had a few good chances but most of the game was played between the 22s. However Force snatched a gritty 16-15 victory in the final minutes, despite Force fullback McGregor nearly throwing it away by failing to kick the ball dea...

Correct.

have our 2 loanees played much yet? Jordan Olowofela made his debut off the bench for Western Force last weekend for the final 15 mins or so against Brumbies. Force had a bye this week so opportunity for a possible second cap until next weekend; away to Rebels. George Worth hasn't appeared for Melb...

It used to be the law that, if an act of foul play was committed by the defending team during the act of a try being scored, the referee is still entitled to restart the game with a penalty to the attacking side on the halfway line...effectively giving the opportunity for a 10 point try. However th...

While the ref may now give a clearer opinion in his question to the TMO, in principle I don't think it has changed significantly. Previously, the ref used to ask one of two questions as follows: - "Is there any reason I cannot award a try?" (ie on-field decision: Try, as the TMO has to fin...

Thanks, appreciate the context - I don't watch a lot of Super Rugby. No problem. Due to the time difference between Perth and England, it's currently the competition I watch most of at the moment! It is frustrating being a Western Force fan at the moment, especially after decades watching Tigers li...

Yes, he replaced Marcel Brache on the wing after 68 mins

Actually the Force defence was holding back the Brumbies attack on their tryline for a solid 5 minutes of repeated pressure prior to the first try ...

Correct. The World Rugby streaming page is the second link in my post above.

Why isn't SR on Sky sports anymore? 🤔 Because Fox Sports gave up the broadcast rights in Aus Correct. Super Rugby AU rights were up for tender at the end of last season and Nine Media (with their streaming subsidiary, Stan) bid far more than Foxtel were willing to offer, though less than the previo...

Thanks for that. It will be interesting to see how Jordan does and if he has used the lockdown period to bulk up at all ? You'll be able to watch it via that link if you're in the UK. If you are in NZ however, the link won't work as it will be geo-blocked due to SkySports having the NZ rights (...u...

Jordan Olowofela set to make his Super Rugby debut for Western Force on Friday

The game should be streamed live here on Friday. (8.45am UK time) if anyone is interested?
