The Force scored four tries in the first 26 minutes of their match against the Rebels in Perth before running out 32-7 winners.

Everything went the Force's way early on.

Alby Mathewson scurried through a gap on the blindside of the Rebels' defence to hand the hosts the early impetus. Then Luke Morahan followed it up in the far corner after Tom Kingston spilled a high ball, Kyle Godwin gathering before Jayden Hayward released the Wallabies flyer for a simple run-in.

A surprising lead then just became bizarre. First, Matt Hodgson scored on his 100th appearance. Then Angus Cottrell, supplied by a beautiful offload from Junior Rasolea, wrapped up the try bonus point to make it 32-0.

The new aim was for the Force to keep an opponent scoreless for the first time.

It didn't happen thanks to Telusa Veainu's 80th-minute consolation try on the end of a Bryce Hegarty grubber, but the Force fans won't have cared.
