Planet Rugby's team of the week:

It was a weekend of big wins in Super Rugby Pacific with plenty of points scored in spectacular fashion as Round Nine turned the heat up.

We selected our team...

Franklin failed his HIA so I assume its the mandatory 12 day stand down at a minimum.

He has been huge for us in all his matches so far.

Hard working and rolls up the sleeves and gets the job done.

At 31, I hope that we can coax another year out of him next year, as he makes a...

The defence effort was immense and the effort was oustanding.

I will post everyone's figures as this was a team effort.

Wells, Tizzano, Tauakipulu and Princep led the way.

Special mention to...

The match was won on our defence but the attack stats also make interesting reading so I will start with those.

As expected White, Fines, Donaldson and Beale feature.

In the forwards Carter and...

The faith paid off in spades last night.

That was on outstanding team performance.

Stats will follow shortly.

Ladies played well and gave it their all.

Fiji just had far too much speed to burn for us, and that was the point of difference in the end.

Great season for the W team, well done to all...

Congratulations to the following for making the Australian u20 preliminary squad:

As a genuine outside centre if true would make a good...

I suspect the June date has more to do with availability for the Wallabies without invoking the Giteau Law.

I would assume that this will be a wallaby "Top Up" contract hence the finalisation only...

CONFIRMED: Wallabies hooker Brandon Paenga-Amosa signed on a long-term contract, commencing June 2024.

Over all the years that the Western Force has been in existence, I felt the biggest downfall in the past was not being able to retain the Rugby IQ that passed through the club.

Thank you for respecting my stance.

Supporting a team that is on the wrong end of results more often than not, can be a test of our loyalty and resilience.

However, I will continue to support...

I post the stats to show that sometimes the results do not reflect the hard work our players are doing in very trying circumstances.

Defence first up:

Our much maligned forward pack did heaps of defence work.

Princep was mighty in defence.
Coxon, Tauakipulu, Carter and Franklin worked hard.
And as always...

The injuries and playing in that "pond" last week took its toll.

The cohesion factor must have been close to zero with all the changes.

Playing in that "pond" last week and the extra flight...
