Richard Brown one of 10 Force Stars in WA Club Action

[Darren]

Wallabies squad member Richard Brown is one of 10 Emirates Western Force players on deck for Round 11 of the KWIK Senior Rugby Competition.

Wallabies Coach Robbie Deans released Brown and others, who missed out on selection in the match 22 for the opening Test against Ireland on Saturday, back to their respective clubs for this weekend’s matches.

After sampling life as a Wallaby over the past 11 days, Brown will be keen to perform when he turns out for Cottesloe against Perth-Bayswater at Pat O’Hara Reserve on Saturday.

All five Round 11 matches will feature players with Super 14 experience, as the season surges past its half-way point.

Brown will be joined by fan favourite AJ Whalley in the Seagulls lineup, while the clash between Wanneroo and Nedlands at Kingsway will feature four of the more experienced players in the Emirates Western Force squad.

For Nedlands, Haig Sare and Luke Holmes return to the fold while Wanneroo will have Chris O’Young calling the shots from scrumhalf and 50-cap veteran Junior Pelesasa in the midfield.

Competition-leading Kalamunda will visit Wests-Subiaco, with centre Josh Tatupu looking to continue his dominant form against one of the season’s genuine surprise packets at Rosalie.

Rookie scrumhalf James Stannard will line up for University in their clash with Associates at Allen Park, while Palmyra’s battle with Rockingham features the clash of two of the Emirates Western Force big men.

Props Gareth Hardy (Palmyra) and Kieran Longbottom (Rockingham) will pack down for their respective clubs at Tompkins Oval.

The full list of contracted players in action in WA Club rugby matches this Saturday is as follows. All first grade matches kick off at 3.30pm.

Richard Brown, AJ Whalley – Cottesloe
Chris O’Young, Junior Pelesasa – Wanneroo
Luke Holmes, Haig Sare – Nedlands
James Stannard– University
Keiran Longbottom – Rockingham
Gareth Hardy – Palmyra
Josh Tatupu – Kalamunda

Kalamunda 1 Wests 0

Fulvio any sign of Garath Hardy for Palmyra ?

[BLR]

That's awesome that Deans allowed him to come all the way back to WA, it seems my prediction was wrong and they are finally valuing the club game in WA.

[Jess]

Cott haven't really found their usual form this season so Brownie will be a good asset to their 1st's.

They'll be pleased about him playing.

[goony]

oooohhhhhhh s**t!!!!

[force addict]

Yay for Cottesloe! Go Brownie

[pieter blackie]

That calls for a different game plan for Saturday !!!

[Jess]

I vote you just let Brownie get the ball and get the hell out of his way!

[pieter blackie]

I vote you just let Brownie get the ball and get the hell out of his way!

He will be a marked man

[fulvio sammut]

I'll believe it when I see it, TQ1.

He'll probably turn out for Perth, they won't have three or four Force players for the first time this week, poor souls.

[fulvio sammut]

Actually, Jess, they have.

[goony]

he played against us last year 2nd round and barely made a mark on the game... but his game has come leaps and bounds since then and im sure he will be wanting to perform to better his chances of wallabies selection. but as pieter said, baysie wont back down!! just ask neddies

[goony]
