Force vs Chiefs
Super Rugby finals confirmed after Force flop Second string Chiefs keep Reds season alive
The Super Rugby finals have been confirmed after the Western Force failed to secure a win against the second string Chiefs. The Chiefs, who had already been eliminated from the competition, managed to keep the Reds' season alive by defeating the Force 40-19. This result means that the Reds will now face the Brumbies in the qualifying final, while the Force's season has come to an end.
The Force vs Chiefs match was a must-win for the Force, who needed to secure a bonus point victory to keep their finals hopes alive. However, the Chiefs had other plans and put on a dominant display, scoring six tries to the Force's two. The Chiefs' victory was even more impressive considering they were without several key players who had been rested for the match.
Despite the disappointment of missing out on the finals, the Force can take heart from their performances this season. They finished in fifth place on the ladder, just one point behind the Reds, and showed that they are a team to be reckoned with in the future. As for the Chiefs, they will be looking to build on their strong finish to the season and come back even stronger next year.
