About 12 months ago the esteemed Juan Cote put together a few stats from the 2009 Super 14. Great idea I reckon. So I stole it. Now the first Wallaby squad of has been named as of yesterday. As with any […]

Ok ok. It’s that time of the year when the talk turns to Origin again. Nah, I don’t mean the Slater, Inglis, Lockyer, Hayne, Kimmorley and co. Sure that State of Origin series is on, but it just happens to coincide with the […]

Sharks 27 Western Force 22
I’ve banged on a bit about Matt Hodgson being the backbone of the Force’s efforts this year but in the face of adversity you cannot fault the commitment, workrate and leadership of Captain Nathan Sharpe.
Hodgo was consistently outstanding […]

In what has been a prick of a season so far, the Western Force have an opportunity to post a rare brace of wins following last week’s victory over the Stormers.

Bulls 28 Western Force 15
The ‘glass half full’ version says that the Western Force showed heart and courage last night in the face of adversity and gave the top of the table Bulls a real fright.
However, reality bites in that it was the Force’s 6th loss in […]

The door is that way Mitch
By announcing his departure from coaching the Western Force ‘at the end of the 2011 season’ John Mitchell is effectively a dead man walking.
I wonder where he’ll celebrate New Years’ Eve this year? You can bet your bottom dollar it won’t be at the […]

Oh come on. Do I have to? REALLY? Sharpie wasn’t the only one swearing in frustration after that round. The Waratahs can count themselves lucky that they were playing the bottom ranked team, otherwise they could have joined the ranks of the Force and Brumbies in a winless round.
As it […]

The Force: It's a long way to the top
You’ve got to feel for the Force. Not a lot of depth and without all their best players these Western warriors have…umm…’gone west’.
I think their season is just about over and despite the return of a few Super 14 quality players […]

Whinging already? A future 'tah for sure.
With the Melbourne Rebels now in the player market place, not too long after the WA Force entered, a subset issue is now a subject of hot discussion. Who can lay claim to the player. It is a common cry out of NSWRU […]

Bart's the new 'General'
The Western Force have named their team for Friday’s match-up with the Brumbies and as flagged earlier in the week, Mark Bartholomeusz is the new black.
He was recruited by the Force as a utility to provide backup at fullback and for Andre Pretorius at flyhalf – that […]

'Mercurial' Andre?
The question on everyone’s lips is how much will Matt Giteau’s departure hurt the Western Force this season?
Let’s face it, in the three seasons he was there it was essentially ‘all about Gits’. He was their million dollar man, possessed oodles of star quality and was worth every […]

Falstaff or Mercutio?
If ever there was a time for the Western Force to fulfill their real potential it’s now.
They’ve essentially been a journeyman outfit since entering the Super 14 competition in 2006.
I don’t mean that in a negative way because they’ve achieved more in the last four years than […]
