    Niemand vertel my weer die ref bepaal nie ‘n wedstryd nie. Flynn se drie het gekom van die skrum waar die ref die Force skrumme beveel het om die bal in te gooi, terwyl Saders reeds begin skrum het VOOR die bal in is.

    Tweedens, SBW en Flynn hou bal in tackle en word nie opgeblaas nie.

    Game over, die ref het die momentum gedraai.

    62L flippit, almal weet mense maak foute, maar maak dit na beide kante toe, dan sal niemand jou bevraagteken nie. Force het verdien om hierdie wedstryd te wen, en met so tight game is dit een of twee verkeerde beslissings wat jou die wedstryd kos.

    As die Force nog so 2 goeie voor en agterspelers bykry, gaan hul saam met die Reds die vormspanne word vir die toekoms in die Super 15. Hulle sal O’Connor net moet behou. Die Tahs en Brumbies lyk glad nie goed nie.

    Maar hulle is nie onoorwinbaar nie. Die Crusaders het verdien om die een te verloor
