An interesting article from today's West Australian with some quotes from Andrew Forrest. The financial backing of at least one Australian team appears sound. How do the four Australian Super Rugby franchises prove financial viability without RA having income from a broadcast deal for 2021?

Because NZ already have a broadcast agreement so they can bring $$s to the deal. They also bring a consistently good standard of rugby. What does RA bring to the mix? Poor rugby and no $$s, a union that is close to bankruptcy and 4 franchises that are nearly broke. Sounds like NZ is in a fairly...

You won't get any argument from me.........not a Blood fan.

All rugby fans in the West agree with you.

Welcome to GRR Qld Reds. Good rugby. Good game to win. GO YOU FORCE.

Team announcement – Round 3 – Reds vs Force Both Sampson and captain Ian Prior are “excited” to be return to Queensland for the hotly anticipated match-up. “Suncorp is a fantastic stadium to play at,” Prior said. “It’ll be special to play in front of family and friends again; I can’t wait to...

Liking the "old rivalries" promos as the WF get back into SRAu 2020.

Really enjoying the renewal of interest in Rugby Union in the press in The West. It wasn't all that long ago that the Western Force article was a gutter run on p6 after the article on weekly Wickepin darts. Full page spread on all things rugby is very good!

Good win Tahs. Never let the Force get out of 2nd gear after half time.

Looking FWD to 2nd half as Force has yet to move out of 2nd gear. Tahs young guys looking lost out there.

9/23 WF players have the potential to make their Super Rugby debut in this match.

Force partners with WA companies NodeOne Internet and Schlager Group for SRAu.

WF squad looking good and Sydney bound. Like Ollie A making Jeremy T look short (that 15mm makes such a difference). Really interested in the Lee-Warner v Hanigan match-up.

Fantastic to see Rugby getting such good coverage in the West Australian.

It's not often that Rugby Union gets a full page promotion/coverage in the West Australian.
