Potter gets yellow card after 3 minutes for mistimed kick chase

[sam16111986]

Looks to be a thoroughly miserable evening (their time) for the Force. Lacking physicality across the park but a stuttering performance for their new 10 Donaldson (the 10/15 the Wallabies took to the world cup as back up) and the unfortunate decision to pair him with a 10/12 means the midfield has been targeted for easy metres. Spink at 13 looks solid but hasn't been involved much which is a shame.

Scrum is getting a going over.

Very early days but it could be that other than the Brumbies the Aussie teams are going to struggle against the New Zealand teams again

Last time I watched Force play was when Olowofela was there. Sounds like they haven't improved since then. Tough gig for Potter!

They fought their way back into it early in the second half but another yellow card for a high tackle and then the replacement hooker losing five lineouts on the bounce and the sixth being only just tipped back by the lock has really hurt them. The scrum problems have only increased as well as the subs came on.

The Force could have run this a lot closer had the set piece provided at least parity. The lineout utter collapse in the second half with the replacement hooker is farcical at this level.

Just seen that Zac Henry had an excellent game for Stade Francais v Racing yesterday in their win 11 to 27.
Henry scored one try, three conversions and two penalties.

Just watched the highlights of the Rebels vs Force game, Harry Potter looked a shadow of the player he was with us, his defence looked absolutely shocking!

If the Rebels do fold Kellaway is going to be getting some big offers

Sean Jansen looking like one that got away for Connacht.

Harry Potter scores a try and has one disallowed in Forces narrow loss at Brumbies.
Also picked up his 2nd yellow card in 3 games for the same offence taking the man out in the air

Hard working and mobile. I'm sure he's fit in well for Connacht, best of luck to him. Seemed to lack a bit of physicality for us and our game plan.

Manu is said to be signing for Bayonne in the Top14.
Playing rugby in the beautiful Basque country ain't a bad idea to boost your pension pot!

Wonder if Bayonne will say they will get more game time out of Manu...

It is certainly a nice place to do rehab!

I'd be surprised to see Manu go to France, I've always got the impression that it wouldn't really suit him from a lifestyle point of view.

Perhaps there aren't any decent offers from Prem teams.
