So good to see the Rugby fans in WA returning to watch the Western Force in action. Near-full house (19,466) at nib Stadium in Game 1 against Fiji. Game 2 against Tonga (16, 323) Northern side - "The Shed" in full voice against Tonga. Eastern Stand against Tonga Game 5...

Good to see community rugby in WA being supported at all levels. Thanks Minderoo for backing RugbyWA........ The Western Force Women's 7's team will take on Hong Kong over a three day series at Curtin University. The series will feature seven WF v HK games, RugbyWA Juniors U14 and U16's...

G'day Sully, this has has some coverage on the Force thread. It's the usual set-up with players being asked to pay $2,000 which I assume is to ensure commitment rather than just go on a rugby holiday. However, I would expect that Minderoo will be assisting The Australian Stockman org in other...

Worth a re-visit 12 months after that last game against the Tahs in Perth. Thanks for your efforts in keeping the Western Force alive and helping to turn the WSR dream into reality. Onya Hodgo!

Really pleased that ALL of the WSR Western Force games are available in HD on YouTube. Means that I can sit and watch a replay at my leisure - whenever/wherever. Check out the Apia Samoa game and you can get an appreciation of how tough were the weather conditions.

An interesting perspective from Bret Harris (ex The Australian) who is now Sports Writer for The Guardian (18 July 2018). After a Super Rugby season without the Force, is history repeating? The first Super Rugby regular season without the culled Western Force has just concluded, begging the...

Hopeful that this is just a hint of what's to come from World Series Rugby in 2019...... https://www.facebook.com/westernforce/videos/1827434547295286/

Episode 8: Western Force Toyota Torque Coach Van Humphries and Johann 'Yogi' Bardoul talk about Van's expensive eating habits, Japanese rugby and how Yogi is basically a Toyota.

The Twitter feed option was mention by Andrew Forrest in one of his early IPRC announcements - when talking about creating a new match-day experience and reaching out to new audiences - long before Nick Marvin came onto the scene. A bit like having Western Force games on free-to-air and still...

It's not an experiment......... It's Minderoo's response to market research on how people, especially millenials, want to watch their sport. It's reaching out to an entirely new demographic....... Twitter feed will be an ongoing part of World Series Rugby.

First time that I've seen the full list of Standards for Western Force men in this FaceBook post by Matt Hodgson: "Two rugby lads who grew up & got real jobs." (Matt Hodgson & Scott Fava) With Matt Hodgson being 4 x winner of the Force Man award and now GM High Performance Rugby for...

I know that there must be a lot happening behind the scenes but there is one major factor which confirms to me that we have to get out from under any level of control/intervention/frustration from Rugby Australia - and that's the refereeing of the modified rules. The refs are currently being...

Obviously I must be watching different games............. Below par performance against the Rebels. Fantastic high standard and entertaining rugby against the Crusaders. The WF in 2018 is playing under the bannner of WSR but it's only an invitational series to keep the professional game alive...

Good team for the game against Samoa. Get ready for a Blue V Blue match-up. Samoa in Blue jersey, white shorts and white socks. Western Force in Blue Indigenous Round jersey, blue shorts and blue socks.

You know what I know.

I reckon 8 teams - which means 14 games + finals. I also hear that a couple of surprises in the teams involved. Should be an interesting announcement in August.
