😂 Just woke up Paul and thank goodness the boarders are closed otherwise there’d be pitch forks!
Nah, we’re a happy lot today. Our kids are back playing, our clubs are back playing and now our state team is back playing. We’re living the rugby dream over here in the West.
Go Force!

Super Rugby Week 5: The Force is strong with this one

Haha! The Aussie Streak has unfortunately been going on for years, all around the world, in all it’s glory!!

Waratahs end Australia's Super Rugby curse

Thought a win was always considered an achievement…..Good to know. 40 non-achievements in a row broken!

Waratahs end Australia's Super Rugby curse

Congrats to the tahs and their fans, and finally some good news for Australian super rugby teams. Deserved winners despite the “in your face” red card. Enjoy the win!

I agree. I didn’t join in the Twiggy chants as it all seemed a bit cultish for my liking. The announcer definitely needs to tone it down and things need to focus back on the rugby rather than on the Twiggy worship.

After all, he’s not the messiah, he’s a very rich boy!

My experience at World Series Rugby

We got our free ticket offer for the game on Sunday sent to us yesterday. I was going to get tickets today as a Mother’s day present to myself, but won’t knock back free tickets. Not sure how long this will continue, but it’s been a very popular thing with the junior rugby clubs and all the allocated tickets have been snapped up quickly for both games.

My experience at World Series Rugby

Yep, it’s going to be a very emotional night. Just hoping for a great game of rugby that lives up to the hype.

Seven-point tries for World Series Rugby

Yep. We were warned about this storm on Saturday afternoon and told to prepare for wild weather. It seems that the only place where there has been any damage is the WACA!!

Australia defeat England, win back the Urn! Ashes highlights, live scores, blog – 3rd Test, Day 5

It’s been on and off all night and morning here, with some very heavy down pours. Certainly no heat, but plenty of wind! Have got the ugg boots on!!

Thanks for the article Allan. As a woman, I value your respect.
I am blessed to have wonderful men in my life. My father set a very high standard and I have maintained that with the men in my life and I am better for having them as my friends. Unfortunately many women do not surround themselves with good men.
I have a son and a daughter. The threat of violence towards them is an equal worry to me, However the fact still remains, that the most dangerous person in a woman’s life up until the age of 15 is their father (or other close male relative) and after 15 it is their partner.
Men are not alone in excusing bad behaviour. Many women also excuse disrespectful and abusive behaviour in men, and actually reward it by deeming it attractive. This needs to change and the many good men out there should be celebrated.

Maybe it’s time to break the bro-code

He’s a really nice bloke too. Love seeing him do well. (and no I’m not his mum!)

Reds vs Force highlights: Force down Reds in 66-point thriller

Hey Anto, I’m a Force supporter. Wanna swap? Wouldn’t mind supporting a team that has a guaranteed future regardless of their performances……

Reds vs Force highlights: Force down Reds in 66-point thriller

Yep. For whatever reason, Perth has some of the most successful sporting teams in Australia across a number of sports, and Rugby could’ve had a piece of that pie if it had’ve been smarter. It still can with the batch of home grown boys coming through the Force pathways, but not if they pull the pin now.

One Australian Super Rugby side to be cut, Cheetahs boss says

Yes he seems like a real classy guy! Maybe the good ol Cheetahs should be axed for having such an plonker as their leader,

Result sealed with RHP getting sent off. Stupid play.

Brumbies vs Force highlights: Brumbies win 25-17

Agree. And yet rumour is that the coach of that winning team has just been given his marching orders. No idea about the circumstances around this, but it would seem really poor that they get rid of the only coach to have had any success with WA rugby in the last couple of years!

Don't cull an Aussie side, just make their coaches Super

Has someone told Wessels these players don’t exist?? He’s about to send out half a team against the Pony’s tonight!!

I think McCalman will be on field captain when he returns.

Early glimpses of a new Reds dawn

Yes last night was very emotional for everyone. I bet most clubs would love to have even a tenth of the connection that the Force do with their fan base. Ten home loses (and some very ugly rugby in that!), an early week night game with thunderstorms predicted, and still over 7000 people turn up (although that number was much higher). The atmosphere was great and there was a real feeling of a battle, not just on the field but off it as well. We are passionate rugby fans and we want to see rugby played in our city.
After the game, the whole of the Force squad, including coaches and assistants came to the edge of the field and a thanked the sea of blue. I don’t suppose they showed that on Fox……. A very emotional win.

Well done to the Force from Queensland

Bit of a let down for Perth audiences. Going from Adele last night to Bieber on Monday! Oh well, lets hope the rugby in between in more like an Adele experience than a Bieber one……

Justin Bieber makes life tough for Force

Yes gutted our boys weren’t able to stand up and get the win. Didn’t feel that they deserved it with some basic errors and bad discipline, but also didn’t feel like we were greatly outplayed by the mighty Tahs. Falou completely silenced by Rona to the point that I forgot he was even playing, and Louwrens made Phipps look…well…like Phipps…. Coleman now has a real presence on the field.
Pity the game wasn’t played over here in Perth on a lovely warm dry evening…..

Highlights: Waratahs shade Force 19-13

Don’t remember that game….. I know it gets hot here in Perth but not 36 degrees at 7 in the evening. And if that’s what our boys are used to, then why shouldn’t we have have it as a home ground advantage?

SANZAAR need to lift their game on the Super Rugby schedule

Yep! Was talking to our Force boys on the weekend and they can’t wait to take on the mighty Tahs! Tatafu in particular is chomping at the bit to get stuck in.

If Andrew Walker was the question, what is the answer for the Brumbies and the ARU?

Agree. Whilst I want to support women’s sport, I’ve been really annoyed with the coverage over here in WA, with everyone crowing on about how wonderful and ground breaking the women’s AFL is, without even acknowledging that most other sports including rugby, cricket, basketball and league already have competitions. No mention of our world champion Pearls playing or our Glory ladies, despite them being in the finals!

Women's sport weekly wrap: An historic week for women's sport

Jono Lance was injured most of last year. Feel that he has a big part to play in any Force success this year.
