‘There’s a little bit of danger’: Force captain confident after bye week

Western Force captain Jeremy Williams has spoken about “the danger around the bye week” as the Perth-based side turn their focus towards a decisive Super Rugby Pacific clash with the Hurricanes on Saturday.

After defeating the Highlanders 29-20 on April 5, it was the Force’s turn to enjoy a week off. Williams visited Esperance – a town on the south coast of Western Australia – which was a chance for the skipper to “get away from footy for a week.”

But the Force haven’t skipped a beat now they’re back together as a group. Ahead of what will be their first match in 14 days, the Western Australians have been training well in the lead-up to a showdown between two teams with playoff ambitions.

The Hurricanes haven’t won since beating the NSW Waratahs 57-12 at Wellington’s Sky Stadium on March 28, with the men from New Zealand’s windy capital going down to the Blues by one point and the Crusaders 31-24 in recent weeks.

But the Hurricanes still sit on the cusp of a top-six spot, in fact, they can leapfrog the sixth-place Force with a bonus point win at HBF Park. As for the Force, they could surge up the ladder ahead of their Australian rivals depending on other results in round 10.

“I don’t think it’s pressure at all. We haven’t really spoken about it too much as a team,” Williams told reporters.

“We’re pretty focused on coming in fresh off the bye and getting back to our form post the bye week.

“We haven’t really spoken about where we sit on the ladder, we just want to take it week by week and it’s the Hurricanes this week and we’re focusing on doing what we want to do as a team to get the win come Saturday at HBF.

“There’s a little bit of danger around the bye week that you come in and you’re still on that bye week come Monday but the boys showed up really well yesterday and today,” he added later in the press conference.

“We’ve hit the ground running and keen to get stuck in this weekend.”

After eight matches this season, the Force have a 4-4 record which has included wins at home over Moana Pasifika, the Fijian Drua and Highlanders. Their one win on the road was a historic 45-42 upset against the ACT Brumbies in Canberra.

Backrowers Carlo Tizzano and Nick Champion de Crespigny have been among the standouts during the course of the campaign, while Ben Donaldson has steered the ship as the team’s chief playmaker in the No. 10 jersey.

While the Hurricanes boast a star-studded lineup, Williams is confident the Force have what it takes to “give ourselves every chance” of another upset.

“We just want to get back to doing what we do best and that’s holding the ball and building possession and kicking on our terms and playing at the right ends of the field,” Williams explained.

“If we can do all those things and put all those things together, then we’ll give ourselves every chance to get out there and get a dub.”

My name is James Rothman, and I’m from Denver, Colorado. I invested $193,000 worth of USDT into HyperVerse formally known as HyperFund/HyperNation, believing it to be a legitimate opportunity. It wasn’t until later that I discovered it was a Ponzi scheme. As a full-time investor, I was devastated by the loss and felt immense regret for trusting HyperVerse with my hard earned money.

While grappling with the aftermath, I came across Morphohack Cyber Service through a news article about funds recovered from the HyperVerse Ponzi scheme. After researching, I found them to be a genuine and trustworthy crypto recovery team. I reached out to them, and they promptly guided me through the entire process via their email ( Morphohack@Cyberservices . com ) . Thanks to their expertise and dedication, my USDT was fully recovered.

I highly recommend Morphohack Cyber Service to anyone seeking assistance in recovering their crypto, bitcoins or USDT from HyperVerse Ponzi Scheme.

DM FOR MORE DETAILS: WhatsApp:+ 1 9 0 3 5 5 9 1 7 3 3.mail: assetrescuespecialist@qualityservice.comsupport@assetrescuespecialist.com.Gladys here from Texas, Back in March, I got caught up in a cryptocurrency scam that really turned my life upside down. I invested a jaw-dropping $800,000 in BNB on what I thought was a legitimate crypto site. For a while, everything seemed to be going smoothly, and I was excited about the returns I was expecting. But then, when I tried to withdraw my profits, everything fell apart. The scammers froze my account and demanded more money, claiming I had breached some sort of agreement. I was completely devastated and felt trapped in a nightmare. It got so overwhelming that I started having dark thoughts about ending it all. Thankfully, my family noticed I was struggling and stepped in when I finally opened up about what was happening. During one of our talks, my niece mentioned a group called Asset Rescue Specialist. She had heard they helped people recover their stolen cryptocurrencies, and I was intrigued. I thought, “Could this be my saving grace?” So, I decided to reach out to them and explain my situation in detail. To my surprise, Asset Rescue Specialist was incredibly responsive and compassionate. They reassured me that they had dealt with cases like mine before and would do everything they could to help. I was a bit skeptical, but I was also desperate for a solution. Amazingly, within about three days if I remember correctly they managed to recover the entire $800,000 that I had lost! I was in shock. It felt like a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders. If you’re reading this and you’ve fallen victim to a crypto scam, I can’t recommend Asset Rescue Specialist enough. They are truly exceptional at what they do. It’s a tough spot to be in, but there is hope. You don’t have to face this alone. Reach out for help, and don’t hesitate to contact them. Asset Rescue Specialist might just be the support you need, just like they were for me. Remember, there’s always a way out, and you deserve to reclaim your hard-earned money!

Mark Tele'a's departure sends unsettling message to NZRU over wantaway All Blacks

Couldn’t find your reply but yeah I really had it down as 50/50, but getting a still image for you one of them looks worse than the other.


I just saw the shoulder as taking the main force/impact and the head only making contact because of Tim’s twisting to place/secure the ball.


Either way I heavily condone lifting and would call for it to be a straight red (no 20minute replacement).
