Some good early signs from both sides with lots of very positive play. Pyle gets the ball on the short side with Mathewson infront of him. The big 2nd row makes easy work of the small scrum half and crosses for an early try!

Both teams come into this Aussie derby with only one point between them at the bottom of the Australian conference. The Rebels have been dogged by losses on the pitch as well as problems off the pitch. They arrive back in Aus after shipping two big losses in South Africa. The Force are looking to add to only one win this season and will be hugely competitive at the breakdown despite losing Pocock to the Brumbies over the summer.
But don't be underwhelmed by this encounter! Both teams are playing for pride and a semblance of dignity. It will be an urgent, desperate encounter with both sides tripping over themselves to prove they can play a quality game of rugby.

I wonder if Angus Roberts remembers playing for castle Cary?!
