The Future Force team continues to produce quality players under adverse conditions. BRILLIANT! They deserve huge accolades from all of Rugby Union they sadly won’t get . I hope they know there are believers out there !
Another positive article about Michael but the author managed to avoid all mention of the Future Force academy and gives the impression the Force no longer exists https://www.rugby.com.au/news/2019/0...abies-mcdonald
That piece really does play down the Force angle doesn't it?
Yep.
