[Modsecurity] special phpBB false positive

I'm getting a lots of false positives with users posting to phpBB from 
rule 300016, which is the generic SQL injection rule. The real problem 
is that the clients company name has the word "union" in it.

Is there a way to check the whether the a particular word is used with 
union and if its there to NOT trigger the rule.

For example
"blah blah blah union blah blah blah"
would trigger the rule but
"blah blah blah keyword union blah blah blah"
would not.

Any hints?
