Charlie Hancock getting his first cap and Carlo Tizzano back in the mix.

Sadly RugbyWa's support from RAu was still only $251k or $14k more than Sth Australia. A bit tragic for the State that had the 3rd largest participation behind Qld ($1.161M) & NSW ($1.481M). Stll also behind VRU ($377K) and ACT & Sthn NSW ($334k).

To highlight that they may have chosen to ignore it passes no judgment on the motivation. That assumption is being made by others. It was clearly an error of judgment by the game officials. Cron has just pointed out that that's his opinion as one of his players was seriously impacted by the...

Captain Michael Wells on Ollie Callan. "Ollie has now been released from hospital, and is in good spirits. He does not have a major neck injury. Callan will aim to return to play this Super Rugby Season. We thank everyone for wishing him a speedy recovery, we’re so grateful for our Sea of Blue"

Who said that RugbyAu wasn't Waratahs centric? But it does show the potential benefit of bonus points in the final countdown. Well done Brumbies for standing tall for Aussie rugby.

Thanks WF for crafting a good win at home. Sea of Blue happy campers.

Round 5 Results At least 11 WF players including 6 from the Fortescue Academy getting involved this week. V pleased to see Henry Robertson at S/H for Wests Scarborough. First game back after knee recon. Update: Henry Robertson played 40 mins and reportedly went well. UWA setting the standard.

TOW - Round 4 Good showings from Young Wallabies squad member and Academy player Jhy Legg plus Fortescue Academy players Luke Callan and Dane Sawers.

It's the conflict of Nthn Hemi v Sthn Hemi and World Rugby's mid-year Test Match Window. The Super Rugby season can't get longer. It appears, and confirmed by Simon Cron's interview above, that the WF have given up on waiting for RA to create a second tier competition to help bridge the gap for Club...

No thanks...can we just have the TMO (and the Ref) do his/her job!

Easy to understand why the WF CEO is not happy. Two Red Cards that get overturned by the tribunal (are these the only ones this Super Rugby season?) and a serious HIA and 7/10 week suspension in which the ref, assist refs & TMO showed no interest - which occurred 20 seconds into the game. Evidently...

Western Force 23:10 Fijiana Drua Two in a row and a chance to make the finals with a win over the Brimbies at home.

WF 23: 10 Fijiana Drua

I gave a summary on the Club Rugby thread which covered a lot of your query.

Very fair assessment by the coach. "Poor effort - our worst game of the year" "We beat ourselves." Agree with Tom Robertson - "The set piece was good".

Swinton's late hit on Strachan (20 secs into the game) . 1,000 words. Strachan - 182cm; Swinton - 196 cm. High shoulder contact direct to head. Lifting at point of contact. No attempt to lower tackle height. No mitigation. No card. No TMO review. Nothing to see here?

Round 4 Results 15 WF, including 9 Fortescue Academy players, involved in Club Rugby this week. Some close games and away wins.
