The Force to tour Pacific Islands in July

[The Man]

Any clues where and when the tour will be on?

Will Rugby WA Broadcast these games?

and for Gods sake! DON'T CALL THE SIDE WESTERN GOLD FORCE OR WESTERN FORCE GOLD!

[travelling_gerry]

Why not?

[GIGS20]

They won't wear Gold will be a good start!

[AndyS]

For mine, Gold should be the amateur side (against the day we get a comp for them to play in again). Force minus Wallabies should be the Spirit, against the day...

[normie]

Whats wrong with just "Western Force".... Why have another name anyway? Just because our Wallaby reps aren't playing. With the amount of injuries we had last year we could have played under the alternate moniker 'Western Spirit'....

Western Force A seems to be the accepted name now - I'm happy with that...

[James]

Ok then: Who is your 26 man Western Force 'A' squad ie minus Wallabies and injured?

Do we pick any departing or likely to depart players? Do we focus on the academy? Or both?

[palitu]

academy players. The people leaving can come off the bench. It is a scratchy, so we can build for next year.

[The Man]

The games are on Aug 19th and 26th

Email the SRU and ask for the IRB and and SRU to broadcast them on Fox Sports suapschu@srfu.ws and feedback@foxsports.com.au

So the Junior Waratahs, Reds Second XV and Brumby Runners get to play these games as part of the Pacific Rugby Cup but we have to pay for them.

Any response from Fox or Samoan Rugby anyone?
