Chris O'Young: flowering
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 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 […]

David Hill: provide options at 10, 12 or 15
It’s not only the Western Force who have been unlucky in love recently but the Chiefs are without a swag of quality players for this weekend’s clash in Swan Laager.

Hilgendorf in happier times
Some would say that the Western Force has a touch of the Monty Python’s: ceased to be, expired, snuffed it, bereft of life, shuffled off this mortal coil, a late parrot!
They’ve certainly had a Pythonesque start to their Super 14 rugby campaign and if not quite of […]

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 […]

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 […]
