Good team for the Western Force for Friday. Great to see Ian Prior back off the bench. Fantastic for Jonah Placid and some local lads to show their stuff

I reckon Plan A is 6 teams for the kick-off year. KISS to build on the Showcases from this year. Plan B is 8 but only if the starts align early (but unlikely due to the RWC comings and goings). Hot goss is a WF game against the Tonga Test side in Tonga before end August.

Brumbies 32:29 RWA Game played in Albury-Wadonga in good spirit. Excellent persistence by Brumbies who were behind 0:17 after 20 minutes and 5:17 at half time.

Another good result last night... Rebels U18 32 v 33 WA U18

Like the promo video on the dashboard of GRR. Catches the 2019 Showcase season very well.

But good to see him back doing weights. Looks like the pectoral muscle has knitted back ver well. I reckon the Captain will be playing against the Malaysia Valke. In Fines & Prior the WF have two good but very different options. Prior may not have the individual brilliance of Fines but the team...

Fantastic to have the highlights package out so quickly. The Power Try by Fiji was impressive as was the sustained WF defensive effort to keep Fiji out for so long. https://www.facebook.com/rapidrugby/videos/358518864859336/?t=50
