It's good to see that common sense can prevail in this pro era and hopefully it may be seen as a bit of a goodwill gesture to the NSW clubs too.
The Rats are probably less than happy about the prospect of a fully rested Fava rampaging at them though!
Hope it is the telecast match so I can watch!
RugbyWA Support Wallaby Request For Fava Transfer
Thursday, 29 June 2006
RugbyWA
Wallabies management have advised RugbyWA that they would like to provide Emirates Western Force vice captain Scott Fava with some “game time,” lacking in recent weeks while in camp at Coffs Harbour.
They have advised that it is not logistically possible for Scott to return to WA this weekend and play for his Perth club, Associates.
Accordingly, the Wallabies have asked that RugbyWA and Associates agree to a temporary transfer – for one week only – which would allow Scott to play for Sydney club, Eastwood, on Saturday.
Keen to support Scott and the Wallabies in whichever way they can, RugbyWA and Associates have agreed to the temporary transfer.
However, it must be noted that the temporary transfer has been granted because of the exceptional circumstances and following a request from Wallabies management. It should not be seen as setting a precedent!
Scott said his preference was to play for his Perth club but this was not feasible.
“I’m very keen to have a run and ideally, I’d like to be doing that with Associates but it’s not logistically possible, so I’m grateful to my Perth club and RugbyWA for approving the one week transfer,” Scott said.
