Would love to get at least 9 wins again this year with one or two more on the road. Would be an improvement on this season without that unrealistic goals
It's good the NZ leg is condensed into one tour.
Japan and the Pacific Islands for Aussie Super 9's!
Let's have one of these in WA! Click this link: Saitama Super Arena - New Perth Stadium?
Agreed, past few years we've had to do two trips to NZ which isn't helpful when the Force already have the biggest travel schedule in the comp!
And a few more bonus points would be handy!
Highlanders and Chiefs both finished with 8 wins, 1 less than the Force this year and they played finals.
Some of the expansive stuff the Spirit has been showing at times might be worth inclusion into the Force next year. Some relief from the tonne of defence they put themselves through last season. It would be nice to give the team something extra on the scoreboard

I wasn't so much thinking of finals either Jono, but to improve in our match winning record mean putting ourselves well into the frame. Personally, I think that targeting finals is unwise, since (as you rightly said) there were teams in the finals who had fewer wins, so that's not a consistent measure of performance (until of course you are consistently in the top one or two) We should, however, be targeting more wins next year than this year....10 is only an improvement of one and therefore a VERY conservative number, but should get us over the line in all but the weirdest of circumstances.
C'mon the
I like the Warraturds Draw this will make a long hard season for them with the byes in round 3 & 8 and a 2nd trip to NZud then Canberra Perth and back to Sydney before flying over Perth to SA.. I am amazed Cheika has not jumped up and down about this

Just looking at all the Oz teams and none do a trip to SA with a stop in Perth either way all have to come from the home state and they all get 2 single games in NZud ... As we get a 2 game tour as mentioned above...
A Quote from SMH All three conferences start in the same week in mid-February, and the Waratahs kick off their season with a Sunday afternoon home clash against the Western Force on February 15.
It will be one of two home games held in the popular 4pm timeslot. In a coup for NSW administrators, who struggled to capitalise on the benefits of afternoon football without commercially attractive opposition teams, the Waratahs will host the Brumbies in the second game on March 22.
