Unfortunately, I have no additional information to what's been made available. I still see no issue with timing as February was always going to be trial games only with real kick-off in March. If the number of teams end up as 6 rather than 8 then the season will obviously be shorter. Looking...

Good to see progress on the Malaysia team. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrUvX39gfEd/

Matt Hodgson speaking to the BBC Sportshour. Could Global Rapid Rugby convert Asia into a rugby continent? In 2017, Western Force was removed from Super Rugby because Australian Rugby Union couldn’t support five teams. The Forces’ owner Andrew Forest annoyed by ARU’s decision created his own...

Welcome back lads. Yogi (Lock/#6), Feliti (Hooker) and Markus (Prop) all stepped up during WSR 2018. Expect them all to play bigger roles in GRR in 2019. By my count that's 23 confirmed with more to come. Interested to see what new players are added to the list in 2019.

Pleasing to see Nick Jooste return to the West. Excellent coverage in the halves as well as F/B.

Good to see. 2 x Future Force Foundation lads get called into the main/extended player squad. Carlo Tizzano & Ben Grant

It's actually 15 and the WF are progressively rolling out the signings. What's your point? GRR is going to happen despite being delayed by experts (especially the RA). Look how quickly the WF was re-established and WSR got going in 2018. Compared this to the train wreck known as RA. If...

Perhaps I'm just a glass-half-full kind of bloke. IMO all of the 3 players mentioned are currently worth their place in the squad: Ian Prior as Captain and recently voted MVP by the Sea of Blue. Marcel Brache awarded the Force Man Award and playing for USA national side. Peter Grant because of...

Andrew Forrest will always reward loyalty but he allows his GM High Performance - Rugby, Matt Hodgson, to support Tim Sampson, the Head Coach to build the player squad. Anyone who thinks that Matt Hodgson is a yes man doesn't know him very well....... The style of management to which you refer...

That can't be true o'wise we'd have had a new comp in 2018.....

People need to remember that there were 3 players who showed support for the current owner of the Western Force at the initial IPRC announcement. They were Ian Prior, Marcel Brache and Ian Prior Peter Grant. (at a time when many others went missing) Andrew Forest has a history of rewarding...

It seems that many have forgotten the impact on players and families of the axing of the Western Force. It's ONLY been a little more than 12 months ago.... I'm sure that Pekahou Cowan still maintains many of these feelings...

It will be interesting to see the WF boost the squad prior to GRR. Nick Jooste is evidently back in the fold. Western Force coach Tim Sampson among trio to re-sign for 2019 Nick Taylor - Perth Now - November 22, 2018 Western Force coach Tim Sampson has begun re-shaping his squad for Global...

I'm happy to keep the belligerence for Rugby Australia (add to it obfuscation, procrastination and many other appropriate adjective that shows their treatment of the WF and any efforts towards maintaining a professional team in WA) Let's agree on one thing WCR (and others if the cap fits) -...

Very positive article from the Fiji Sun.

I didn't jump off the edge too quickly it was a meaningless comment which still makes no sense after your explanation. To me it sounds like an attempt to put down what for Perth rugby supporters were the only games in town. Did you even watch the games??? Both teams went out to win in all of...

I suggest that you're going to find our very soon.
