Info on the valke, sorry for dodgy google translation
Force and Jaguares on the same weekend
The Falcons will play against two international teams this weekend, first in Perth in the Showcase series against the Western Force on Friday night and on Saturday in Brakpan in the First League against the Jaguares.
The Falcons A team that played against Boland last weekend will fly to Mauritius for the battle on Friday night in Perth.
The Malaysian Falcons have a team manager from Asia but the rest of the group are genuine Falcons.
Tukkie coach Nico Luus takes the reins of the "other" Falcons team against the Jaguares in Brakpan on Saturday.
The team will be selected from the rest of the Falcons' extended squad and players of the Bulls, Tukkies, QBR and Naka Bulls and should give good account of themselves.
The match against the Force is the first for the Falcons in the Showcase series with a match in November in Malaysia also on the cards.
The Force has already dealt with Fiji, Samoa, Hong Kong and the Singapore Dragons.
Local names such as Marcel Brache, Chris Heiberg and Brynard Stander are currently playing in Force colors as well as former Chiefs player Johan Bardoul.

Hi guys,
The suggestion that Taiwan has signed up to join GRR isn’t true and the rugby website that first posted the story has since taken it down.
The GRR team is continuing to talk with a number of unions and teams about possible inclusion, but nothing has been decided as yet.
Hang tight, guys, I feel sure it will all be worth the wait in the end.
Everyone feels a bit of deja vu with the lack of announcements. But I can think of at least one good reason that the cloak and dagger stuff might be needed. RA. Despite their mealy mouthed spin, they have put up hurdle after roadblock to GRR. On the evidence available, at least.
I disagree that they have. GRR is run by the Hong Kong Rugby Union. Any roadblocks are more than likely just us conceding to RA demands to keep the peace. There is simply not a single thing RA could actually do to block a tournament being run by a totally independant union... lots of spin around trying to justify some of the disorganisation.
They couldn't block the tournament, but it would seem they've been conceded the ability to block our involvement.
