"Easy sell for flanker Chris Alcock to rejoin reborn Western Force

When former Western Force flanker Chris Alcock was asked to join the reborn club he didn’t have to think twice.
“It was an easy sell,” said the popular back-rower who made 30 appearances in “old” Force colours in four injury-marred years.
His journey has now come full circle after a season with the Brumbies and a spell with Japan’s Kamaishi Seawaves.
He is equally excited about his new two-year deal with Andrew Forrest’s radical Indo Pacific Rugby Championship club as he was by his first move to Perth from the Waratahs as then coach Michael Foley’s first signing.
The Force are planning games against international sides Fiji, Samoa and Tonga and Super Rugby clubs the Crusaders and Brumbies before the National Rugby Championship in September.
The focus will then switch to the IPRC that is due to kick-off in March next year."
