Must be a hell of a confidence booster for one of our sides to go over and win. lets hope they keep it up.
Any of our sides that play a foreign team have to be supported by everyone.

The amount of kicking that occurred from both sides during the game came as a surprise to me considering the constant swirling breeze.

The Cheetahs Scrum-half was on the ball, but the loose forwards were almost always second to the breakdown. Quite a few times when a Cheetah broke through (not very often mind you) and got tackled further down the field, their was no one to protect or recieve the ball.

Early on the scrums and rolling mauls were fairly even, but as the game went on, the Cheetahs pack was totally dominant, making the Force look like amateurs.

The Western Force backline certainly impressed me with their running, and linebreaks. Their loose forwards are also something to watch out for.

Even though I am in Perth and being a Sharks supporter, I just had to scream… VRRYYYYYYSTTAAAAAAAATTTTTT

The day was really warm, but the bloody wind chill was terrible at night, I’m sure that all of the 17,000+ crowd were frozen by the end of the game.
