As far as I know RR the Western Force SRW side is under the banner of RugbyWA. There appears to be excellent collaboration between RugbyWA and Minderoo. The Future Force Foundation is run by RugbyWA and funded by Minderoo (and others). There are at least 3 positions available for female...

Good to have both squadfs at the Western Force Fans Day on Sunday.

Very successful Western Force Fan Day at RugbyWA HQ on Sunday. Great chance to meet the new playing squad, Super Rugby W team, the new coaches (Tim & Van) and hear from Andrew Forrest and Matt Hodgson. Good turnout from the Sea of Blue - especially the kids/junior rugby players. World Series...

Fantastic addition to the coaching team at the Western Force. Van was at the Waratahs, Eastwood and Wallabies at the same time as Matt Hodgson. Welcome to the West Van - have always loved your passion for the game! Van Humphries announced as Western Force Assistant Coach Rugby union stalwart...

Some of you G&Grs work with a very short fuse and are happy to go off on a tangent.. I posted an announcement from the Western Force for information. My opening comments were: Big commitment to local rugby from the new WF squad. Is there any other professional rugby team in Australia...

Thanks Daz Appreciate the answer to my question. Any idea of what time commitment this involves for the Rebels players? So pleased that you're so interested in what's happening in WA.

Big commitment to local rugby from the new WF squad. Is there any other professional rugby team in Australia showing this level of commitment to Club rugby???? FORCE PLAYERS ALIGNED WITH LOCAL CLUBS Western Force players will reinforce their ties with the state’s strong rugby community and...

Nick Marvin sees big picture at Western Force after crossing from Perth Wildcats Nick Taylor The West Australian Friday, 16 March 2018 Western Force chief executive Nick Marvin has been on a steep learning curve since leaving the Perth Wildcats. Nick Marvin admits he knew very little about...

Good to see some additional players being added to the new Western Force squad: Heath Tessman, Harrison Lloyd (Vikings/Brumbies Academy), Johan Bardoul (Chiefs/Yamaha) & George Pisi (Blues/Clermont/Northampton/Samoa)...

The last number I saw was >100,000 registered rugby union players in Sri Lanka - more than in Australia.

My personal view is that there will be no rule changes as the intention is to play rugby and one-off games is not the place to test new rules. Leave that for the WSR/IPRC. It's been said many times but let's try it just once more.....(and I've typed this very slowly for you Wamberal). What's...

I can't see any new rules coming into the games in 2018 - but who knows for WSR or IPRC? Forrest has already shown that he's willing to spend his own $$s. His early comments were that it was likely to take at least 3 years for the IPRC (starting in 2019) to break-even. This is not a...

My tip is Panasonic.

Probably means that WF2018 has a chance to play the Rebels rather than WF2017. ;)

Understand that 5 of the games will be announced today. Others to be locked in.

Totally agree BH. So pragmatic that the other Aussie teams should be welcome to play in the same comp that Andrew Forrest creates. But that too will take years.

You're totally underestimating the depth of feeling in WA over this issue. It's way beyond emotional - but very determined. East Coast rugby is dead to rugby fans in the West. In exactly the same way as RA (with the backing of its member unions and franchises - enticed by the promise of $$...

Great to see. https://thewest.com.au/sport/western-force/renewed-western-force-reveal-new-logo-jumper-ng-b88763504z More announcements tomorrow.

At least Nick McArdel acknowledges the "big influx of stars" from the Western Force. https://www.facebook.com/mike.rammelt/videos/10155439818819150/ Upsetting? Yes. Will we get over it? Unlikely. However, we'll move on with the re-birth of the Western Force and the IPRC next year.
