Crazy Horse is either one of history's greatest warriors, an interesting establishment in Paris or a slightly eccentric Rugby has-been who started in the forwards but finished his serious playing career on the wing. He is also a Motorsport tragic having held CAMS licences in Event Command, General Competition Area and Rally as well as Driving.

The Rugby WA Premier Grade competition has existed in one form or another for well over a century. However, when I played we all…

It does seem that there is an over emphasis on the forwards, even when there are wingers in the clear with no one between them and the try line.
Even when an opposition back gets carded they continue to play bash and crash when Rugby 101 is to create the overlap.
Why the Queensland Reds hit a speed bump in Dunedin
The one position the Tahs do not need “reinforcement” is 7.
Super Hooper could be called back for Waratahs
What’s with the so called water boys (really coaches runners) coming on repeatedly.
? It’s happening so frequently it’s almost like Grid Iron now. Every time there is a scrum on they come. Even in a cool Perth last Saturday night in a game that didn’t start until 8:00 PM. The Refs really need to crack down on this.

Start by doing away with penalties for the dominant scrum causing the other side to collapse. What you should get for winning the scrum is the ball to play on with, nothing more.

The Force at home in front of a sell out stadium will be hard to beat. The Chiefs will however have plenty of support. Match of the round for my money.
Super Rugby tipping panel Week 13: We meet again
The Force are now the 3rd team. The 5th team are the Tahs!
Tim Sampson lauds "a lot of ticker" from Force despite qualifying final defeat
Pleased to see all the “experts” have tipped against the Force, as they did last week.
Super Rugby tipping panel week 11: Finals time and more blues for the Blues
Sampson started the season with a team that had never played together. He experimented with various combinations throughout Super Rugby Au.
Wise old heads prevail as the Force awakens
WA lost a whole generation of players when the Force was shafted. Not only the likes of Dickie Hardwick but the younger cohort just approaching professional age. Many of them with professional aspirations decided there was no future in Rugby and moved to other sports. I have two of them in my family.
That’s a hole that will take years to fill.
Wise old heads prevail as the Force awakens
So pretty much a full strength Tahs team then.

Nearly 7,000 at the Force V Reds despite many paid up members opting not to come because of the impending COVID lockdown.
Melbourne Rebels’ determination no match for Western Force momentum
I’ve been Forced to watch the replay of Friday nights game several times!
Force dreaming of Super Rugby glory after stunning Reds
Whatever happens in the finals, there is no doubt that the Force are back and are highly competitive.
Force dreaming of Super Rugby glory after stunning Reds
Cubelli and Miotti are both playing exceptionally well.
Force dreaming of Super Rugby glory after stunning Reds
The idea that NSW Rugby is so far ahead of the rest of the country that it could field 8 competitive teams in a national competition is just laughable. They couldn’t compete with the rest of the country in the NRC with 4, then 3 then 2.
The days of Sydney as the centre of the Rugbyverse are long gone. There are Premier Grade competitions in every state. The best interstate clubs would hold their own against any Sydney Club.
Is it time to reconsider dumping the National Rugby Championship?
For an MBA just give them something to measure. It doesn’t matter whether it had anything to do with the organisation’s actual core business, they’ll be happy and leave the operators alone to do the real work.
Super Rugby tipping week 7: Sacked coach watch
Carlo Tizzano is born, bred and played all his rugby in WA before being poached by the Tahs.
Why would private equity invest in Australian Rugby if it doesn’t include the National Rugby Championship?
Hopefully the referees will crack down on the tactical use of water boys to slow down the game.
Joyful Rebels finally make their way home
Coops has long been guilty of trying too hard to show he is not biased in favour of teams from his hone state.
Force struggle with whistle-happy ref
50% capacity because of COVID limits the crowd to only just over 10 K.
BTW the weather is looking to be great for a night at the footy.
The Roar's Super Rugby AU season preview: Western Force
50% capacity due to COVID but I’m told tickers are selling well.
The Roar's Super Rugby AU season preview: Western Force
Set up a hub in WA. No community spread of COVID and actual crowds allowed at games.
How do the Super Rugby AU squads stack up?
That’s exactly what it does. It intentionally stops the momentum of the game.
All teams are now doing it to some extent but the Rebels in particular do it. Watch how fast their “water boys” get on anytime there is a stoppage when they’re on the defensive.
