Nick ‘the honey badger’ Cummins will return to Perth for Global Rapid Rugby showcase
Nick TaylorThe West Australian
The honey badger is coming home!
Former Western Force winger Nick Cummins, with his cult following of woolly wig, head-bandaged fans, will be back for the club's Global Rapid Rugby showcase series opener against a World XV on Friday March 22 at HBF Park.
But the badger-army will have split loyalties - he will be hunting “meat pies” (tries) for the invitation side.

Well that's added a few more to the crowd.
Some interesting players in the squad.
They will test us without a doubt. Thanks to Robbie Deans for brining this team.

I didn't know this World XV is linked to the Baa Baas. Methinks, or hopes, big things ahead for rugby in Perth and our Western Force.
World XV isn’t linked to the Barbarians. Twiggy could hire Optus Stadium for a Force v Barbarians match and the funds go to farmers or Aboriginal communities. C category tickets sold for a fiver that’s how Stade Francais filled the Stade de France. Cash donations on the day.Throw in match programs as well.
as a matter of interest,how many years has it been since he last laced up his boots?
I'd love it if this was the Barbars. I actually wonder if, whenever we need an invitational side, Twiggy could get the Barbarians or the French Barbarians? Be nice to get a French team in Perth one of these days.
Winder who they're getting for Bledisloe Eve?
Japan and the Pacific Islands for Aussie Super 9's!
Let's have one of these in WA! Click this link: Saitama Super Arena - New Perth Stadium?
If New Zealand Rugby has any sense, they'd put their hand up for the Bledisloe eve game, to provide a Maori All Blacks, or Baby Blacks side, to provide a hit-out for guys who are on the cusp of RWC selection.
A Force vs Maori All Blacks match would absolutely sell out.
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
That’s what they have done with the matches in Chicago. Could be on the cards as it gives the NZRU more matches for their players while the ABs are playing.

Six of the Force games will be played at HBF Park and the team will go on the road for games in Fiji, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Brisbane with a Malaysia-based side likely to play in the Bledisloe weekend game.
