Force Blown Away by Hurricanes

The Western Force seems to have peaked early already in the 2015 Super Rugby season with a dreadful loss to the Wellington Hurricanes at nib Stadium. You could be forgiven if you thought you were watching the Force of 3 seasons ago with such dreadful defending and a myriad of unforced errors gifting the Hurricanes incredibly easy tries that would make an under 15's schoolboy's side look like a super rugby franchise side. The torture was finally over with the Hurricanes winning 40 to 13 with the Force running over the line for a late second half try.

With the Western Force celebrating their 10th year this is definitely something to not get too excited about. Especially after the side made assurances such woeful capitulations were a thing of the past. You can have off days and a few weeks of bad matches but to just get belted constantly over 10 seasons besides 2014 is just not fun. You can see in the member's eyes that they are starting to reach a point where the tolerance is nearing an end.

I also like the fact away supporters, should I say local residents who are living in this fine city of ours outnumber the home support in crowd noise and encouragement. You would think the Force are playing an away match sometimes.

Let's hope that the display at nib Stadium was the worst for the side's 10th year and hopefully more positive results to come. Come on Force repeat the effort of last year.

Again, no food or drink due to the exorbitant prices.
