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 […]

The Good Shepherd
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.
With their international backrow of Pocock, Brown and Hodgson back on deck for the first time since […]

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 […]

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 […]

'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 […]

Coming up with a list of the top tries of the decade was a tough one. What makes one try stand out from another? Is it individual brilliance we are gauging it on, or is it whole of team involvement? Rehearsed tries from a set piece or instinctive […]
