The third match this morning might see a few of the faithful watching, but the not so faithful will use this opportunity to go get some lunch or get the braai supplies for later tonight, as two of the bottom feeder teams are facing off in a nothing match.
The Force should have too much fire power for a Brumbies side that lost to the Lions in front of their home crowd. Catch the highlights to this game on the news and go do something better.
