With an average age of 24.4 yo this is the youngest squad that the WF has ever had. I would think that it's the youngest squad in SRP (Super Rugby Pacific). Only 3 players >/= 30yo: Bryce Hegarty - 30; Ian Prior 32; Toni Pulu - 33. Building for the future................... Looking forward to the naming of the...

Liking the thinking out of the box. The line-breaking Centre we need as well as a volatile Sth American to add depth in the Front Row. Go You Force!!

Team for the 2nd trial game against the Urayasu D-Rocks on Sat, 12 November. The game will be live streamed here:

How's your Japanese? Some highlights from the 1st WF v D-Rocks trial match.

Seemingly not as we've been waiting for >12 months.

Good showing by the broader Western Force 28 v 33 D-Rocks trial game in Japan. Tries scored by Club Rugby talent in Kainoa, Gio and Nuku plus George Poolman recent graduate into the WTG. All conversions by FB, Jake Strachan. The talk is that next week's game will be live screened.

Welcome to the West Charlie Hancock. Good to see the building of depth in all positions. Pleased that Charlie's on board for at least 2 seasons.

Brief interview with Simon Cron on SEN WA. Have been to a couple of training sessions and can confirm that he walks the talk.

Good to see George Poolman heading off to Japan as he's recovering from lower-leg/ankle surgery but was looking good when I saw him on the sidelines last weekend. NS-S has been part of a pretty good U19 back row and they'll miss him against the Tahs this weekend.

Fantastic to have this end of season for some/pre season for others trip to Japan for 2 x games against Urayasu D-Rocks. Group includes 5 the new recruits, WTG + Force Academy players, plus new pre-season faces from East Coast and WA (including 2022 B&F - Nuku Pauta [Perth Bayswater] and 2022...

The rules of the game are such that unless Curtis had a release from London Irish then the WF couldn't progress beyond an initial expression of interest.

RugbyWA announce 32-man State 16's & 19's squads Good to see recent Western Force recruit, Oliver Cummins (NSW Scots College) playing for the WA U19s.

I'm a bit confused with the use of the Super Franchise names for the U16s and U19s. Is this the first time that this has been done? Isn't the under-age pathways under the State Unions? The Western Force pathway is through the Fortescue Academy.

The Western Force have appointed Simon Thomas as head of performance. Widely known as one of the top strength and conditioning directors in the world, Thomas curated his success at the Crusaders. Leading the performance department over five seasons resulting in three Super Rugby Titles in 2017...

Thanks RR - we all need distractions from the Wallabies.

Absolute dross of a schedule construction. Only 6 Home games in 2023. Single Home game in Perth over a two month period. Family unfriendly game times. How can a franchise re-build a fan base under these circumstances. Now that Covid is over can we have GRR back please? At least we still have...
