My Prediction
Western Force by 8Ladies and Gentlemen, buckle up, we're getting ready for an epic display as the Fijian Drua and the Western Force lock horns in Super Rugby. Here we are at round 14 and it's shaping up to be quite the showdown.
We've seen everything from a neck-and-neck scramble to landslide victories in the past tussles between these two. Oddly enough, the Western Force seemed to have plugged into some kind of power grid in 2024, leaving the Drua biting the dust in two match-ups with scores like 52 to 15 and 48 to 10. The Drua, not quite achieving such epic proportions, managed a respectful 31 to 13 win earlier that year.
As we examine the regular season records, the Western Force's 4-7-1 feels almost gem-like beside the Drua's slightly tarnished 3-9. Hardly Hall of Fame statistics, though, don't you think? Let's remember, slow and steady wins the race or so they say.
The Force has been a bit of force to reckon with recently. Well, relatively speaking of course. They've managed to hash out a draw, a win, and three losses in their last five outings. The Drua is lackadaisically trailing, churning out a solitary victory, a defeat of near obliteration proportions and three more standard-issue losses in their last five.
And let's not forget about the standings. The Western Force holds the #8 spot, leaving the Fijian Drua huffing and puffing at #11. Makes you feel like the Force is slightly higher up in the curve, doesn't it?
So, after a deep dive into the murky waters of Super Rugby analysis, it's time to stick a pin in this discussion, my friends. After much contemplation, and finger counting, my prediction is...
