More to come it would seem

Glad that isn’t the big news. An international quality second rower would be nice

Who’s the big Aussie/welsh lad in Japan, he would be a good get

Need 2 locks out long term from squad to bring in someone new

My guess is Cron to play a role in Wallabies coaching setup for RWC run

Ryan McCauley is also out for at least a month

I don’t think that’s long enough. To get Jamie Roberts in last year the Tahs were down two centres for the season

A team can bring in another player as Injury replacement if there are two players injured in the squad in the same position.

Out of interest, Adam, in that case does the club get an exemption to the salary cap or do they still have to squeeze in under it?

As I understand it there are provisions for player payments under injury cover but they are extremely limited.

An interesting interview with new WF Captain Michael Wells.
The podcast inludes a lot of local Perth rugby banter.
The Rugby Wrap is a weekly chat from Mick Collis, Mitch Hardy and Heath Tessmann.
The interview with Wells is from 1:50.

Very insightful interview with Simon Cron

I don't know why I've just discovered this now but the Force are playing the Highlanders twice.

I thought the only teams you could play twice are from your own conference? Drua and Pasifika are playing each other twice too.

WF first game caps earned by 10 players in the opening game against the Rebels.
2 Fortecue Academy graduates in Siosifa Amone (Associates) and George Poolman (Syd Uni).
