Pleasing to see Rugby Union getting such good coverage in today's West Australian.

The development of young players is such a quandry. Have always had high hopes for Nick Jooste who played fly-half for the Australian School Boys (2015 I think). Played 5 games for Perth Spirit in the NRC in 2015 (18yo) and left for the Brumbies reportedly to learn under Steve Larkham. 2016 -...

I don't think that his time with the Tahs helped his progress. 4 games with Sydney (Rays) in the NRC and 2 Super Rugby caps with Tahs in 2020.

Quite so RR. So McDonald is up against Prior and Cubelli - some stiff competition. All other comments still relevant.

McDonald is currently a member of the Extended Player Squad - none of whom have any game time in SRAu (Jackson Pugh???). Apart from Jonah Placid the average age of the EPS is 21yo. I understand that McDonald has been injured. McDonald is up against some stiff competition. He sits behind Lance...

Didn't want to post this until Greg had actually played the game against the Reds. I reckon we'll see him kit up again in 2022. Have never seen him look so fit. Greg Holmes - 150 Super Rugby Caps

Consistently good match day experience for fans of all ages. The Driving Force - Episode 6 - Rebecca Roe

Pleasing to see (On Facebook) that RugbyWA has just run a rugby clinic at Joondalup Baptist College in Perth's nthn Suburbs. The clinic was supported by Joondalup RU Club as well as Peter Grant - ex WF/Stormers/Springbok. Joondalup is a focus point for many of the local ex-Sth African Perth...

The real concern Sully is the guidelines in the USA are telling people that even two people who have both been immunised are unable to meet in either of their houses...??!! But I too am hopeful that we'll be a different world before the next rugby season.

Good to have an opportunity to broaden the horizon and start thinking/talking about next year. With the current state of Civid19 in our region, sadly I can't see Global Rapid Rugby getting going again next year.

Although the Western Force seems happy to have its name used, this team is evidently wholly an initiative of RugbyWA.

A little touch or reality. Rugby Union is still working out how to pay for the men's professional game, so IMO it's way too early to start turning the Women's game fully professional. I'm sure that it will come, but it's still some way off especially due to the lack of crowds attending the...

By popular request......... Force injury update April 1, 2021 Homegrown star Kyle Godwin is nearing his long-awaited return to the field, while a number of players continue to work back to full fitness. Kyle Godwin (foot) Having missed the opening five Force matches of the Super Rugby AU...

Fantastic development in the West. Western Force launch Super W team April 1, 2021 The Western Force is proud to announce a newly structured Super W team, as the club increases its support for the women’s game in Western Australia. The team will play under the Western Force name, with...

Keep up the good work Tony........ New CEO building community connections March 31, 2021 Western Force Chief Executive Officer Tony Lewis has a clear vision to ensure the growth of rugby union in Western Australia, with a focus on young talent. Having been out in the community meeting with...

Pleased to advise that on the basis of the rules laid down by both Qld & WA governments the WF didn't need to go into quarantine which was helped by the squad having no contact with any of the identified hotspots and being quite restricted in their activities while in Brisbane.

We've only seen Tim play at Lock and BSF - and neither for very long. I reckon he shows most potential at BSF but he needs to bulk up a bit. Certainly offers a good lineout option. This selection is very much for encouragement and recognition of his potential as I don't think that he's ready for...

Very pleasing to Tim Anstee, Feleti Kaitu'u and Sitaleki Timani make the 2021 Wallabies Training Camp. Tom Robertson unlucky not to be there.

Can't help but notice the difference between Stan's commentary team this week compared to last week. Same commentary team: Maloney, Horan and Mitchell. Reasonably balanced coverage for the Reds v Tahs but last week these three ex Foxtel hacks struggled to even mention that the Western Force was...

What are the take-aways from the last 3 years? Minderoo/Tattarang has: Maintained a professional rugby team in WA. Supported rugby in WA when RA effectively turned its back on the game in the West despite and reducing annual $ support to the same level as South Australia and Northern Territory...
