So Slim - another example of your assumptions presented as fact. Do you actually know the arrangements between Channel 7 and World Series Rugby? Kerry Stokes was one of the first people to stand up with Andrew Forrest when the Western Force was axed in August last year. I'm prepared to admit...

A wonderful moment after the end of the Western Force v Fiji World Series Rugby game when ALL of both teams gathered together to give thanks and pray for 2 players injured during the game. (Peter Grant - concussion and Tevita Ratuva - broken lower leg) Well done Ian Prior in urging your team to...

Great job Tim & Ian.....

You betcha!!! As shown by the new list of sponsors. Minderoo sent out invitation to 200 execs from the big end of town in Perth (+ partners). They all came to the game.......... In reality, this terrific support is only an extension of the "Own the Force" initiative which had already...

Ian Prior was impressive with his leadership of the new player group which was no doubt as to was leading them. Touch of class for him to get the WF players to join Fiji on the field after the match. The Fiji players looked overwhelmed by the standing ovation that they were given by the full...

He didn't get much of a run. He certainly contributed to a strong scrum performance after the changeout to the front row. Lloyd, Kaitu'u and Longbottom were impressive together.

The current custodians of our great game, Rugby Australia, have done everything possible to rip out the soul of Rugby in Australia. More importantly, despite numerous consultant reports, they've done very little to promote and grow the game. Super Rugby has become an embarrassment. The effects...

This maybe the perception of someone living outside of WA but I don't know a single Western Force fan who would agree with you Slim. No group of players and supporters need to be put through what was forced upon them by the ARU/RA over the past nearly 18 months. It will not be forgotten! It...

Out of 19,466 attendees, only 4,000 paid $10 for their seats.

FTA coverage announced. On 7 TWO

Thanks to shrugbyblog for keeping track of the attendance figures. For 2018 so far: Team/Av/Max REBELS/10,000/16,100 (Hurricanes) REDS/12,300/14,000 (Chiefs) BRUMBIES/9,100/13,500 (Waratahs) WARATAHS/N/A*/15,600 (Reds) [*Crowds for Rebels and Lions not made available]...

The last time the Western Force attracted a >20,000 crowd was 22,000 for Force v Crusaders on 30 May 2011. 3 biggest crowds have been against the Crusaders. Force v Sharks largest crowd against Sth Africa opponent in 2011 - 17,620. Force v Brumbies largest crowd against Aussie opponent in...

Wallaby eligibilty should NEVER have been an issue - but it's a very good example of how RA (the custodians of the great game in OZ - ALL of OZ) has done nothing to help the re-establishment of the Western Force.

Rumour has it that it's only the Fiji game that will be live - in celebration of the start of WSR. Other games will be delayed in Perth in the same way as AFL.

Ticketmaster is indicating that nib is close to a sell-out. Taking into account the stage space for Wolfmother this means <20,000. Best crowd at nib last year was 14,089 against Chiefs. Best crowd in Aussie Super Rugby in 2017 was 18,781 - Reds v Tahs. Best Crowd in Aussie Super Rugby 2018 so far 16,135 -...

No names as yet but evidently being supplied from International Rugby Panel by World Rugby. (mperhaps with support from WA local personnel)

Gradual re-introduction back to the game as he returns from knee reconstruction.

Delete your too WCR as the link has been lost..... Thnx.
