Landers throwing everything at the Force
Force steal it… Sies Ebersohn does not manage to kick it out.
Landers still camping deep in Force territory
Landers penalty, Hodgson culpably infringing….
What will the choice be?
Force 16 / 15 Highlanders
10 Minutes to go… it’s a 1 point game
Landers get a longish range attempt at goal…. they could take the lead here
Phweeeeew, what a kak kick by Slade…. totally but totally duffed it
Another penalty Landers, on Halfway… about the middle spot.
Slade goes for goal again
Over…. just, just…
Highlanders 18 / 16 Force
Force immediately get a penalty…. and now they will go for goal
Not a difficult shot either…. just outside the 22
Force 19 / 18 Highlanders
Less than 2 minutes left
Landers attack hard…. 10m out….. Slade knocks…. you dunce!
Force win…. by a hair

A little excitement at the finish there. Force hang on for a one point win. Had them by 4 so wont lose points on bru.
