Yeah it was and the respective nations that have been awarded an IPRC side.
I suppose we won't know the initial figures for the program in WA until at least October when schools are transitioning on to Summer sports.
Another good thing the IRFU do is run Summer camps and tag competitions at clubs which encourages activity and is also used as a recruitment aid for the coming season.

Great article on The Roar.
World Series Rugby from the sideline
Neill Barry Roar - 23 Aug 2018
As I write, the Western Force have just disposed of the Panasonic Wild Knights tipped by most to probably win, in a heart-stopping, close competition. It completes a near perfect end to the first year of World Series Rugby.
Twiggy it seems has turned defeat into success not within a generation as most things take in Perth, but in a year.
It was only one year ago that Rugby AU, in an unfair and unexpected way, protected the Eastern states by cutting the Western Force despite the successful nature of the club. Not a tinkers cuss was given for the devastating effect that this would have on West Australian rugby, it alienated the Rugby AU with the entire fan-base.
See more.....even some worthwhile discussion.
