Just seen this no 11 here in Perth close up..wish we could grab him before someone else does.Scored 3 tries v Western Force but still lost. Reckon most Premiership sides would beat either, forwards weak up front..

I wanted to go but Thursday evenings aren't convenient for me. Decent rugby is thin on the ground in WA and the fact that Force is the best on offer isn't great so it was a shame I missed the (very) rare treat of a WF victory.
After years of being spoiled by the success of Leicester Tigers, now having to make do with Western Force as my "local" club is a bit of a come down.
Oh well, i'll try to get to the Chiefs game next month, though there is no chance of that game ending in a victory for the home side...

You moved over that way then Tim? Nice way of life?
You can console yourself with knowing that at least you'll have decent opposition coming your way. It was a comfort to me when I was watching one of the Blues' dire seasons!!

Yes, I emigrated to Perth exactly 6 months ago today in fact!
Unfortunately decent RU is thin on the ground here (bottom-scrapers Western Force & the very occasional Wallabies international). Perth Spirit won the NRC last season but the standard isn't the same.
I can't even console myself with decent RL instead as, aside from 2 games in the RLWC this year (admittedly Eng v Fra & Wal v Ire), the only RL games here are occasional on-the-road fixtures.
I'm just hoping that Western Force don't get cut from Super Rugby as is rumoured as I need my occasional live rugby fix!
Hockey may pay my wages but watching it isn't the same to watching rugby, and I still don't understand any sport that awards points for missing the goal (AFL)...

I'm going to advocate for AFL here, it's an extraordinarily difficult game, and I prefer such quirks over simple rules and a dreary game (ie soccer/basketball).tjs10 wrote:

I'm pretty sure it stems from the fact that it's played on a cricket field - 6 is the most accomplished shot, and 1 is scored for a shot 'good, but not perfect/greatly timed'. It's got the quality of urban myth, but this is what I've heard.
