I didn't really realize the significance of the event until I got there. It's funny because a lot of people were saying that the result was pretty good for the Force. But even a rugby neophyte such as me could see the vast difference in the quality of these squads.
The crowd was really into the game even though the Force never were. Also, they played at Patterson Stadium which is the home stadium for the WC Eagles (AFL) and a much larger than the stadium than the Force normally play at. So, it made for a good atmosphere. Lots of Lions red colours in the crowd.

I am jealous.
I actually think the reds game will be much better, hopefully they will name a strong team, have the option of picking 8-9 wallabies I think in their squad.
