The Force have been a dangerous side right from the beginning, merely they are turning a few of those fixtures that would just elude their grasp around. Not much unlike the Cheetahs last year.

Hakwa: I would prefer that the Force copy the Bok play book when they play kiwi teams, then we have a better chance of winning
& the fair-minded kiwi said: "I hope Bok fans enjo y the flattery"

The force have been outstanding really....finally getting some return for the last 5 seasons as a member ...hahahaha ....the back row of Alcock , Hodgson and McCalman have been the main reason...each having different rolesAlcock the enforcerHodgson the fetcherMcCalman the ball carrierAll have been huge on defence....I'll be there in blue this week when they go 5 in a row!!!

It's also no coincidence that there season turned around when Pek Cowen started in there 3rd game and has started in all 4 wins...the hearty prop getting through a mountain of work in the tight...Eberson deserves a mention also been very consistent ...

force have had some killer results and im not taking anything away from them, but im still not convinced that this is anything more then a phase of a run of good games.
as the remaining teams especially the top teams come to play the force now, they will keep in mind the forces accomplishments to date and bring thier A game to take them out.
while all teams always say theyre not taking any game lightly, complacency is a killer state of mind which the force have used well to beat their opponents in 2014.
i doubt that any team will be that complacent with the force anymore, and i doubt the force will win any more games for the rest of the year, except the lions game.
hope im wrong though (not at the expense of kiwi teams, lolz), but regardless, 2014 is shaping up to be the most competitive super rugby tournament ever, and the aussies at the moment are showing NZ and SA whose boss.
