Good mix for the Melb Rising game. Hoping to see more from the Backs. Some good options off the bench. Alcock (hamstring) obviously being saved for Fiji Drua as he was looking good last week.

Good article on preparation for the game against Melbourne Rising in Geelong. https://www.westernforce.com.au/hard-work-paying-off/ Excellent interview from Van Humphries as we haven't heard much from the big bloke since he arrived in Perth in April this year.

Thanks Slim....always enjoy your interest in my posts. I reckon that this is just a lazy cut and paste job from someone at the Western Force. But check out....... http://www.rugby.com.au/competitions/nrc and If you can fit in Queensland Country (QLD Country) then surely you can fit...

With the invitational 2018 season WSR has shown that it's certainly not just another version of Super Rugby. Every effort is being made to make WSR a match-day event, to present entertaining rugby and bring families back onto the scene. WSR will be professionally run without the fickle, vested...

It's noteworthy that this is all that Minderoo/Western Force had to say on Sat, 29 September. Asian rugby expansion a step closer September 29, 2018 The global rugby governing body has considered detailed expansion plans for Andrew Forrest’s new Asian pro-rugby series competition in 2019 and...

It seems to me that many people are trying to make World Series Rugby something that it was never meant to be. The initial aim was to grow the great game of rugby in the Indo-Pacific region in a way that was never tried before. There's been no indication that WSR has moved away from this...

Rugby's Rapid De-Clyne Code is going backwards yet its leaders are missing in action Brendan Cannon - Daily Telegraph - 30 September 2018 I am Wallaby 769. It was the greatest honour to wear my country’s colours in the international rugby arena. I write this column as a concerned former...

Phil the Hill at UWA Sports Park/MGillivray Lineout dominance certainly helped to earn the win. Jeremy Thrush is enjoying his time in Perth and playing in the NRC competition.

Obviously not this time.... Western Force 63:15 Sydney Rays. Should I take offence at the fact that every other team on RA's NRC ladder and website get their local/state affiliation and the Western Force get abbreviated to just the "Force"??

A bit tragic watching Hooper get outsprinted by a Hooker (Malcolm Marx) in a kick and chase.

I reckon Nick Taylor has jumped the gun with this one as there's been no follow-up from WSR. Think I'll just wait until the official announcement.

Good to hear Brett Gossage's comments on so many different issues. It seems that the interview was at the Sydney Rays v Fiji Drua game yesterday, 23 Sep 2018. https://www.rugby.com.au/news/2018/09/23/world-cup-expansion-australia-2021-2027 His comments specific to World Series Rugby (around...

Excited to see what comes out of the World Rugby meeting in Sydney in the coming week.

A win on the road against the top team always a good outcome. Ian Prior's general game management and 6 from 6 conversions the only difference btwn these two good teams.

Congrats Gus Cottrell. Pleasing to see you come back so well after the knee recon. Enjoy the time on the road. Hope you can get some time on the park.

Pretty good team. I assume that Chris Alcock has a niggle....

Entertaining game in Canberra. Enjoyed the Force's push over try just before half time.

Western Force coach Tim Sampson to come up against former team Canberra Vikings Nick Taylor - The West Australian - Saturday, 15 September 2018 Western Force coach Tim Sampson will be back in familiar territory at Canberra’s Viking Park for Sunday’s National Rugby Championship clash with the...

Thanks neilc.All good points. However, it's been 12 months since Forrest initially announced the Indo Pacific Rugby Championship (now WSR) concept. WSR personnel have had discussions with RA ever since. The change in the initial timing was at RA's request. I don't think that there is any...
