I would think that it was announced early as in the past Japanese clubs have announced such changes as soon as they happen as a sign of respect to all concerned. Also appears that Georgina may have picked that up. Tim Sampson was the right man to lead the Western Force team through the...

Good move. Cron turns down Hansen to become new coach of Western Force Georgina Robinson - March 28, 2022 Premiership-winning Shute Shield coach and former Waratahs assistant Simon Cron will coach the Western Force next season after turning down the considerable charms of former All Blacks...

The recent changes to entry actually narrowed the gate - particularly on any players involved in tackling the ball carrier. I don't really mind how it's reffed as long as there is consistency for both teams and from game to game.

Don't need the opinion pieces from the normal cast members. Watch the game again and tell me that my observations are incorrect. You'll have no trouble confirming my numbers - especially if you are even half aware of the rules for the breakdown/rucks. The refs are consistently not calling...

Have just watched the game again to be sure of the impressions gained at the ground. How do you gain or lose momentum in a rugby match? By having a referee who ignores illegal entry into rucks. All 4 first half tries by the Brumbies followed periods of up to 3 x side entries (the try at 1:30)...

This pic makes it appear that Banks is stationary when in reality he still had momentum toward the side line. There was always going to be head to head contact, even if Pulu had not taken a half-step towards Banks. The guidelines are clear - it's up to the tackling player to avoid the...

There's a lot to like about the way the WF is playing. However, what's needed is a full 80 minute effort and improved strategies for turning possession and territory into points. WF, like all professional teams, can't survive on glorious losses. Still enjoying our roller coaster ride and will...

I agree with Sam Wykes: "Better to win ugly than lose pretty!"

Dear RA, this is doing very little to promote Super Rugby Pacifica. (From AusStadiums) I'm embarrassed that even the single game at HBF has no data. Are attendances being published anywhere? PS It's only Rugby Union that is NOT publishing crowd sizes. AusStadiums show crows for League, AFLW, Basketball etc.

Many good signs but too many key players making little contribution. Lacklustre effort; lacking any intensity so totally worked over at the breakdown; seem to be waiting for someone else to make a difference. Frustrating to see so many balls held up over the try line so far this season...

Not worried - just used to having our hopes dashed for a range of reasons and directions - many of which have been of our own making.

It was a mid-morning departure from Melbourne (so lunch - not dinner) on a recovery day. The team rules are set by the player group at the start of each new season. It's the player group that raised this matter and recommended the discipline. I have no issues with this. Maybe the players are...

Excellent news.................... Force First to Pay Women Players. Nick Taylor - The West Australian. Western Force have become the first Australian Super Rugby club to pay their women players. The groundbreaking news comes on the eve of the Force women opening their Super...

Very pleasing to see WF selection based on effort/performance + potential. Rapt to see Issak and Ollie getting starts. Winchester and Makara getting a chance to show their stuff off the bench. Understandably Ready being given a rest after last week's poor performance at lineouts, penalties and...

Rodda extends his stay until after 2024 season.

Bit tired of another week of hair trigger on the WF and offside and supporting own weight optional for the Rebels.

I hope we get to see more of these fitness updates. Bo Abra has been most impressive during his journey to recovery. The strength and conditioning team at the WF appear to be a talented and dedicated crew.

Good to see the playing squad pics at last.

New Super Rugby season - but some things don't change as we still can't get attendance records for Waratah's games. Every other game over the last 2 days but not the Tahs v Drua match. Source: AuStadiums.
