While proud of his trailblazing outfit, coach Tim Sampson couldn't disguise his despair after the Force bowed out of the Super Rugby AU title race with a tense 21-9 qualifying loss to the Brumbies in Canberra.
Defending champions Brumbies will play the Reds in a rematch of last year's Super Rugby AU final after beating the Force in a tense battle.
