I think if Twiggy makes an announcement, it might be one more Force fixture for the year. Maybe the warm-up game for one of the RWC teams?
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?
Didnt the Valke article suggest there could be an away game played between the Force and Malaysia Valke in November? That may be the extra game. Being an away game it probably wont be broadcast.
It can be read two ways. A Valke vs Force rematch, or just another Valke game against a GRR side... hopefully the Force play another game and provide a stream.The match against the Force is the first for the Falcons in the Showcase series with a match in November in Malaysia also on the cards
There is no game being played in November. The last game of the season is the one tonight.

ANDREW FORREST TO MAKE IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ON FUTURE OF GLOBAL RAPID RUGBY & WESTERN FORCE
Andrew Forrest will make an important announcement in an address at the Spirit of Rugby Long Lunch and will be available to media for a brief doorstop.
I was going to comment that my tip was that Twiggy would wait until the RA were in town to make an announcement so he can get the RA execs in the media photos with their shit eating grins. Play to their egos as actually NOT being scum.
Although imagine if he came out and said he'd had enough, damn.
Gordon Bray on Nova this morning, so was a good plug for Rapid Rugby even though it involved Bledisloe news.
Heard Gordon Bray on Nova this morning. In other news I want Gordon Bray to be the voice of my GPS.

Rapid Rugby full force ahead in 2020
August 9, 2019
Global Rapid Rugby will expand into a home-and-away competition in 2020, with Asia Pacific teams competing for AU$1 million in prize money.
Just hours before the final game of a successful 2019 Showcase Series, Rapid Rugby Founder Andrew Forrest AO reaffirmed his commitment to the sport in WA and the Asia Pacific region.
“We decided to use 2019 to introduce the Asia Pacific to Global Rapid Rugby’s brand of the game and this proved to be a good call. The players loved it, communities embraced it and it has been great for rugby,” Mr Forrest said.
“We have formed the strong foundation needed and look forward to bringing Rapid Rugby’s innovative and entertaining game style back to our region’s growing fan base, with AU$1 million in prize money.”
In a reflection of the strength of this announcement, Western Force Head Coach Tim Sampson, and Captain Ian Prior, have re-signed to lead the team.
Foundation team, Western Force, will remain a central pillar of the 2020 competition.

Confirmation of Rapid Rugby’s inaugural home-and-away season comes as Australia prepares to play an historic Bledisloe Cup contest against New Zealand before a record 65,000 strong crowd in Perth, Western Australia.
Mr Forrest took the opportunity to remind Rugby Australia that while Western Australia was proud to host the contest, the one-off event was not enough to secure the future of the game in the state.
“Saturday night’s turnout will be a timely reminder to the nation that Western Australia is a critical part of the future of rugby not just in this country but across the entire region,” he said.
“It’s the people of Western Australia that have kept the sport alive in this state – they have continued to form the Sea of Blue, they have backed Rapid Rugby, they will demonstrate amazing support for the Wallabies here tomorrow night and prove to Rugby Australia that WA will always be a Force in this game.”
