Lions 14 (7) vs Force 55 (29)
Lions continue poor form
Force record biggest victory in Super 14
The Lions suffered another humiliating loss, this
time at the hands of the Force, going down 55-14 in Perth on Friday.
Once it again it was their defense that lead them down, as they let in eight
tries to two. Two of the Force tries were penalty tries, also leaving a question
mark about the Lions discipline.
The Force lead 29-7 at half time, on their way to their biggest victory yet in
the competition.
The sooner the Super 14 ends for the Lions, the better.
