Sometimes it's just good to win ugly.

Probably fits in well with the game style being promoted by GRR.

Welcome back Steve Meehan. Former Western Force assistant coach Steve Meehan has returned to the Global Rapid Rugby club as defence specialist. It is a new role for Meehan who has spent much of his well-travelled coaching career as an attack coach, a position he held at the Force under...

Good to see things starting to happen.

Really like the fixture for GRR. Fantastic job to keep everybody happy in the time available. Well done Hodgo and the team at Minderoo.

Hey G&GR Would it be possible to have our personal logo changed from the old backward looking swan to the new and more dynamic forward looking swan please?

Have just been having an early morning look through the fixture again. I reckon Minderoo has done a fantastic job in the time available - as I'm sure they were under pressure from World Rugby to have this all wrapped up by end June in recognition of the limited Test window prior to the RWC in...

Western Force to face strong ‘World XV’ side to kickstart showcase series Nick Taylor The West Australian Thursday, 28 February 2019 Western Force will kick off the new Global Rapid Rugby showcase series against an invitational “World XV” on March 22 at HBF Park. The side, coached by former...

Western Force spirits not dampened by Global Rapid Rugby delay, says captain Ian Prior Nick Taylor - The West Australian - Monday, 25 February 2019 Western Force captain Ian Prior says the delayed start to Global Rapid Rugby has not dampened player spirits as they count down to the "showcase...

‘We don’t want it half-cocked’: Global Rapid Rugby, featuring Hong Kong-based South China Tigers, pushed back a year Patrick Blennerhassett Honk Kong Rugby Union 1 Feb 2019 Tight timeframe in getting series off the ground forces mining magnate to push the start date back until after the...

Congratulations Marcel Brache. USA Eagles name former Stormer Marcel Brache as captain http://www.espn.com.au/rugby/story/_/id/25904929/usa-eagles-name-marcel-brache-rugby-captain-vs-chile

The announcement from the GRR website. https://www.rapidrugby.com/2019-showcase-series-unveiled/ I'm liking the alternative for 2019/RWC year - especially if it means a fully manned, with high profile marqe players after the RWC, 8-team competition in 2020. 7 or 8 international games in...

Just a ForceFan who is trying hard to be positive while bouncing back from the travesty suffered in 2017. I've no idea, any more, about the make-up of the 6 teams. Just too many rumours over the past months

Yes - it's all a bit quiet on the GRR side but can understand that little to announce before it's all locked in. At this stage it seems more likely that it may be a max 6 team competition (with no indications from GRR as to the make-up of these teams). Why? If still 8 teams they'd be...

Peter Grant hangs up his boots January 30, 2019 Former Springbok and Western Force flyhalf Peter Grant has announced his retirement from Rugby. The 34-year-old made the decision to retire after receiving specialist advice from doctors in regard to past head injuries...

If it's only 6 teams, it doesn't need to start in February. I'm happy to be patient as it's been <2 months since GRR was approved by World Rugby (14 Nov). In reality it was never going to be announced over the Christmas/New year period. I'm still hopeful of a 2019 kick-off for GRR but another...

Retreating Rugby Australia shaving with a bayonet Wayne Smith - The Australian - 3 January 2019 A little like those Allied troops who were ordered to shave with their bayonets before retreating during Operation Market Garden in World War 11, Rugby Australia is putting the best possible face...

Happy New year to all of the G&Gers. Health, Happiness and Success on all fronts and lots of Rapid Rugby Globally in 2019.....

Excellent re-signings. Need some new power-house/line-breaking centres and wingers.
