FORCE END TWO-YEAR HOME DROUGHT

FORCE 26 d. REDS 19 @ nib Stadium

The match: The Western Force chalked up their first home win since Round 13, 2015, accounting for the Queensland Reds 26-19 in a thriller at nib Stadium. Curtis Rona’s 69th-minute try proved the difference for the Force, negating a hat-trick from fellow NRL convert Eto Nabuli for the Reds.

The Force crossed the line after just one minute through a sizzling Chance Peni solo effort, but Nabuli struck twice in the space of two minutes quarter of the way through the match. The former St George Illawarra flyer’s second was a remarkable long-range effort from his own 22.
