Honiss Statement

G'day folks, Sorry I haven't visited for awhile. What with S14 and Tri Nations it's all been a bit hectic "Downunder"! Was wondering what the Northern take was on a recent NZPU article involving Paul Honiss? The general concensus on TWF is firstly a state of disbelief that an official woul...

Thanks Cables, yeah just came over to update that. Great news for the Force to now officially (ie end of the Round) recorded our highest table position in our short history! Many Western Australians never thought they would be cheering for the Bulls and Lions to win upsets (especially as they are ou...

Force top the Super 14 Ladder...

....if only for one match :D In a fairly dour affair the Western Force logged their first win for the 2007 season in Cape Town overnight. This is only our second win and therefore a record result of 22-3. The result saw the Force top the table for one match until a under whelming Waratahs went down ...

Thanks fellas!
I'll be having the traditional WA approach too, drinking beer in 40 plus degree inland heat as we watch Australia thrash the poms once more in the One Day Cricket match :D

From RugbyWA's ticker tape (which I managed to stay in front of for 90%of the match :D ) Super performance by the Emirates Western Force tonight all things considered. The healthy (revised) crowd of 9501 (absolutely awesome for the S14 for a Trial match) saw some terrific expansive play by the home ...

FINAL SCORE Western Force -59 Manu Samoa- 10 A great cheer from the crowd shows appreciation for a hard match in tough conditions. Overall a fairly encouraging hit out for the Force considering the heat and the fact that many hadn't played together this year. All good signs and still a couple to com...

Half Time:
Western Force- 33 (5 Tries, 4 Conversions)
Manu Samoa- 3 (1 Penalty)

Obviously being played in very hot weather (still 34 degrees at 7:45pm) so hard going and a lot of sweat on the ball.
Some great footwork from individuals from the Force to get the tries, especially Cameron Shepherd.

Its the rural thing ... I do about 25k a year but I was chatting to folk who lives in North France and he was saying that they would easily do 25k a year just going into town and about their normal business. Hahaha, yeah I guess it's all relative... I live 230kms from town and one round of checking...
