2004
Perth was awarded the fourth Australian Super 14 franchise, beating competition from Melbourne and Victoria. The franchise would eventually become the Western Force, who began their Super Rugby tenure with a 25-10 defeat to the Brumbies in the 2006 competition. "This is an historic day for Rugby in Australia. The Board is unanimous in its view that a Super 14 team based in Perth will be an enormous success and will make an enduring contribution to Australian Rugby," said ARU chairman Bob Tuckey.
