World Series set for Japanese flavour as Western Force announce Panasonic Wild Knights clash Nick Taylor - The West AustralianThursday - 24 May 2018 Western Force will play powerful Japanese club Panasonic Wild Knights in the final game of this year’s World Series Rugby tournament. A Japanese...

All for lifting the standard and status of the NRC. However, while the NRC is a Tier 3 competition ( for amateurs - sitting beneath Super Rugby and Test Rugby) it is unlikely to be palatable to WA as it will continue to be a show case which leads players to having to move East to play Super...

Fan favourite Matt Giteau at the top of Western Force wish-list Nick Taylor - The West Australian - Wednesday, 23 May 2018 Western Force have stepped up their audacious campaign to lure home star Australian players from Europe and Japan – and number one on their list is former Force favourite...

Excellent player profile on Ian Prior by Brett McKay Ian Prior: World Series Rugby was a gamble, but one I was happy to take Brett McKay – The Roar - 18 May 2018 This time last year, Western Force scrumhalf Ian Prior was in the worst possible place for a professional footballer: settled in...

HD version of the WF V Fiji game available on YouTube. Thanks Western Force.

Just 9 months away is a long time for Minderoo. Especially when you consider what's been achieved in just 4 months. No hint re NRC and WSR intended. I certainly hope not...... The NRC is a RA product. The RA should be fully accountable for the outcomes. Minderoo offered to get involved as part...

First cap to Henry Taefu - Aust U20/GSydRams/Bris City/Reds/Samoa/WForce Not bad for a 25yo.......

The Minderoo crew have been a bit busy getting WSR going with the invitation games in 2018. Even if in place, I can't see any announcements until after the NRC is completed. No need to rush - the first games aren't until Feb/Mar 2019.

Post Match - Ian Prior gives some thoughts on the upcoming game against the Rebels.

Very good coverage with 3/4 of the inside back page of today's West.

G'day HB There's a pre-game of Western Force Women v Hong Kong Women starting at 2PM. As fars as I know this isn't on FTA. I don't think it will be a sell-out but well >10,000 (at that number Monday) It is Mothers' Day after all.

Good young team for Sunday: Western Force vs Tonga: 1. HARRY LLOYD 2. ALIFELETI KAITU’U 3. CHRIS HEIBERG 4. FERGUS LEE-WARNER 5. JOHAN BARDOUL 6. TEVIN FERRIS 7. CHRIS ALCOCK 8. BRYNARD STANDER (VC) 9. IAN PRIOR (C) 10. ANDREW DEEGAN 11. BRAD LACEY 12. RODNEY IONA 13. MARCEL BRACHE 14. ROD...

Great signing. Get's him much closer to home. Thrush was the 4th choice Lock for the ABs for the 2015 RWC and he was disappointed that they only took 3 to England. Hence the move to Gloucester. Seems like we're building depth in preparation for next year and signing on players when they become...
