Western Force scramble for pre-season games, waiting for new Super Rugby draw, amid border restrictions Nick Taylor - The West Australian - 16 December 2021 Westen Force’s build-up for the new Super Rugby Pacific competition has been hit by COVID border restrictions as they wait for a revamped...

RugbyWA has done a very good job expanding the number of schools for 2022. 3 more to make the targeted 18. Big focus on the population growth corridors to North & South as well as rugby heartland (Central). There appears to be some uncertainty about the number of clubs that will be in the...

Comprehensive interview with Ollie Hoskins after getting his first Wallaby cap. Some good insights into where he was at when he left the Western Force at the end of the 2016 Super Rugby season. Has always been a top bloke who always had the goal of playing the best rugby that he could.

I reckon that if we wait for Education Depts it's not going to happen. Their focus is clearly on other woke issues. Private sponsorship is critical as RA and State Unions just don't have the $$s. When the Tahs were in financial difficulties the first employees to go were the Development...

Great to see Harry Lloyd back on the training track in the West. Ozich and Tito come out of quarantine today to add some zing to the pre-season. Welcome lads!

Looking at the mix of players and the previous insights on how Hodgo works within the salary cap and the WF remuneration model I would think that the WF would have some room for a couple of extra players. Will be interesting to see what unfolds.

Good to get the full 36-player squad announced. Average age of 26yo. 18 players </= 25 yo. Liking the mix this year. Need an experienced #8 backup for Stander. Read more....... Attach Coach - Mark Ozich and Forwards Coach - Paul Tito started their 2 week quarantine today.

He's not alone. Can we please admit that we're rebuilding for RWC 2023 and still a few good players short of a good Test rugby team.

From Tom Gorman - local Geraldton Rugby Union supporter. Hot off the press..............Keep up the great work Tom!! Hi Sea of Blue - UPDATE on February event (Western Force v Qld Reds). The event is going ahead with a small change. Due to travel logistics around the Queensland Reds, the...

Very pleased to see that Tony Pulu is still in the mix for 2022.

A bit of history about what was, coulda or shoulda. I've gathered no Super Rugby ruck data since the WF was axed in 2017. Australian Rugby has lost so much talent OS. The poor decision making by RAu and Wallaby selection continues. It would be good to know who really makes the selections.

RugbWA Schools Rugby features Combined Schools and Colleges (CSC) and Public Schools Association (PSA).

Covid-19 has prevented to kick-off for the Govt school in initiative. As I understand it Tattarang will be paying for the Head Coach for 8 secondary schools.

The Western Force Emerging Academy (U16 & U18) players. The Emerging Academy will commence the pre-season aspect to their training next Monday afternoon - training three times a week. The Emerging Academy provides an opportunity for talented young players to develop their individual skills...

I look forward to one day seeing the Wallabies win at Twickers. 0 from my last 3 visits is depressing!
