Fark, what a shambles…. Force have a golden chance to pilfer a loose ball… and they knock it, Landers also knock in return!

Landers Scrum Free Kick… quick tap and go.

Good Force defence

7 Minutes to go, the deficit is now 13.

I need an unconverted Force try…

But in stead the Landers get a try through Aaron Smith!
