    Im pretty sure this match will sell out. Surely, and if not then I'm certain that we will get a respectable crowd that won't detrimentally effect our average attendance right now.

    Ill be there and I am sure all the other Force supporters who turned out to the first two will be too. It would be nice to crack the 20k mark.

    For coach Dave Wessels and half a dozen of his players it will be an emotional homecoming when the Melbourne Rebels travel to Perth to do battle with the Western Force in a World Series Rugby fixture at nib Stadium on Saturday night.

    The match, which will directly follow a live telecast of the Australia-Ireland Test from Brisbane, has been billed as “a grudge match”, with the Rebels having been the main beneficiary of the axing of the old Force Super Rugby side.

    It was always the Rebels and Force that the Australian Rugby Union had identified as the two teams in contention for the axe, although it came as no surprise when the Force were chosen, purely because they could more easily be shut down.

    But the months in which both clubs remained in limbo brought them closer together and it was no real surprise that most of the Force players elected to go to Melbourne, as did coach Wessels. They were the only Australian Super Rugby club to agree to play the Force when they were reformed under Perth billionaire Andrew Forrest, although the Crusaders of New Zealand also have agreed to play them in their next match in a fortnight.

    “It’s going to be a special occasion and I’m proud of the fact that the Rebels are supporting everybody over in WA,” Wessels said. “For us, those of us that are from there, it’s going to be particularly special.

    “The way everything went down last year, and the lack of processes, everyone was actually on leave when the news about the Force came through and in some way we didn’t have the opportunity to say goodbye to each other properly.

    “I wasn’t actually sure that I’d have the chance to coach at nib Stadium again. On a personal level, that’s going to be pretty special. But I think the more important thing is that our club has made the commitment because rugby people on our end would like to support rugby people on their end and the game that we love and try to make it work for everybody. That’s pretty special and I’m proud to be part of that.”

    The Rebels have not yet finalised their side but it is understood that former Force players Ross Haylett-Petty, Billy Meakes, Matt Philip, Michael Ruru, Angus Cotterell and Nathan Charles will all return to WA to play against the Perth club.

    “There are a couple there that are obviously involved with *Wallabies stuff that can’t make it, Adam Coleman and Dane *Haylett-Petty,” Wessels said.

    It is understood that Anaru Rangi, another Force product, has a minor back problem but after having an epidural, he should be fit within a week in the event that the Wallabies come calling for another hooker.

    “But we will take a good side over and that’s in the spirit of the contest,” Wessels said. “We want to put on a game that people want to come and see and it’s important that we take the players that people over there want to come and watch. So we’ll certainly try to do that. We obviously want to go and win but we want to win in the right spirit because we understand that this game is as much about *promoting rugby as it is about *winning.”

    Just one or two things wrong with this commentary:
    1) It was NEVER the Rebels and Force the ARU identified as in "contention" for the axe. It was only ever the Force, as identified by the Senate Inquiry
    2) Rebels could NEVER have been shut down, the PUT options and the paper bag of cash to Cox and his mate ensured that
    3) The Rebels players were told they were safe by those scumbags Clarke and Cox

    Wayne got one thing right...It came as no surprise when the Force were "chosen"

    Perhaps one day the rugby journos will have the balls to tell the truth. Not in my lifetime though

    BTW its not the Force who are billing this as a grudge match

    Looking at Ticketmaster, there are certainly not that many blue dots left, so it looks like it will be a good crowd

    Yep, that's moved a lot in the last two days.

    I'd suggest better than 14K unless GA is empty

    Masivesi is Massive!!
    Don't think Thrush is playing until Crusaders game, or Fourie for a while.
