Following the success of the 2005 regional visits, the Emirates Western Force will travel to WA’s picturesque South-West next month to continue their preparation for the 2007 Investec Super 14 season.
The trip is designed to give the players the chance to visit with rugby fans and local residents to thank them for their support. Approximately 1000 Emirates Western Force members live outside the Perth metropolitan area.
The rural trip will also allow for the players to get to know parts of Western Australia outside the capital that they may not otherwise visit.
The 2006 tour will visit Mandurah, Busselton and Margaret River, where the team will train at local high schools.
Emirates Western Force coach John Mitchell said the trip was an important step in the squad’s pre-season preparation for the Super 14 season.
“WA is a unique state in the fact that it is so big. The trip will give the boys the chance to appreciate the vastness of the area and the variety of people that we represent,” Mitchell said.
