Good presser......

Western Force cling on in epic 13-try World Series Rugby finale Nick Taylor - The West Australian - 18 August 2018 World Series Rugby has been entertaining all season and the Western Force and Panasonic Wild Knights produced plenty of action last night in the Force’s 50-45 victory at nib...

A New Zealand side sound just perfect for WSR. So too does the prospect of a team in Western Sydney. Set the bar high Minderoo. Don't be content with mediocrity - we have enough of that already under RA. Clearly WSR is aiming to have the competition beside Super Rugby NOT at NRC standard as some punters...

Best rugby game I've seen sine the Western Force rolled the Waratahs in Round 17, 2017.

WSR seems to have Robbie's support. I reckon Panasonic Wild Knights are in for next year. https://www.facebook.com/westernforce/videos/263519397593780/

Quite like the team from the Western Force. Missing Chris Alcock - injures, and Johan Bardoul - playing in Japan. Same back 3 who did so well against Hong Kong. Andrew Deegan back at #10.

World Series Rugby has a bright future, says former Wallaby Berrick Barnes Nick Taylor - The West Australian - Wednesday, 15 August 2018 Former Wallaby Berrick Barnes says World Series Rugby has a bright future but is uncertain where Super Rugby lies in the sport’s landscape. Barnes also...

Thanks Tim Skepper: Panasonic Wild Knights team for Friday! 141 Japanese & 53 Australian caps in the starting XV. A further 141 caps on the bench. 15 of the 23 players are full internationals! This should be comfortably the Force's toughest non-Super Rugby opposition of the competition.

The game is being played at Lark Hill at 6PM WST on 25 August after the Championship Premier Grade Final. The Stockmen are also playing a RugbyWA U19 side at Waneroo on Monday, 20 August at 7PM WST.

Oops - Iona's Brumbies' time slipped my mind. I assumed you meant McGregor (rather than Maddocks). They played well together with a good mix of well-drilled discipline play and all 3 showed they have the ability to find/make the gaps. McGregor's ability to play at #10 was on show as he drew...

An interesting mix of players showed their stuff for the Western Force against Hong Kong. Follow-on players from the 2017 Western Force (Prior, Tessman, Stander, Grant, Brache, Lacey & Scoble). Adding to the locally developed players above (Lacey & Scoble) were Ferris and Uyen (2 tries)...

Appreciate having the HD full replay so quickly available. Commentary still needs some work but enjoyed having Gordon Bray back on board. Excellent camera work.

In the end the Western Force 45:24 Hong King Dragons was a faor scoreline. Always enjoy Tim Sampson's honesty - what you see is what you get. Hong Kong maintained good pressure at the breakdown.

Andrew Forrest’s World Series Rugby is still bubbling and Hong Kong get their chance to audition against Western Force Sam Agars - South China Morning Post - 9 August 2018 The HKRU have shown interest in the mining magnate’s breakout competition from the outset and get a first-hand look on...

Enjoying the availability of full game in HD on YouTube.

Post match comments from Tim Sampson & Ian Prior.

Evidently Robbie Deans has already placed the Western Force on notice that he's bringing his best XXXIII for the WSR match against the Western Force. This will be the Wild Knight's last full trial game before their first game in the Top League against the Kubota Spears on 31 August. Will be...
