Rugby’s controlling body has given the go-ahead for Western Force international matches in the new World Series Rugby tournament.
The move comes three weeks ahead of the Force’s first game at nib Stadium against the Fiji Warriors.
The seven-game series will also feature international sides Tonga, Samoa and Hong Kong, Super Rugby clubs Rebels and Crusaders and a Japanese team.
WSR is backed by mining magnate Andrew Forrest, who vowed to resurrect the Force after they were axed from Super Rugby by Rugby Australia last year.
Meanwhile, the Force have recruited big names from politics and sport to ramp up their profile.
The club’s new advertising campaign includes rallying calls from Forrest, new WA Governor Kim Beazley, Justin Langer, Matthew Pavlich, John Worsfold, Dennis Cometti and former Force captain Matt Hodgson.
Forrest said WSR would change the face of rugby.
