Super Rugby Preview: Western Force

Western Force

The Western Force 2016 Super Rugby was a disappointing for the Perth Faithful as the Force were only able to beat the Reds and Rebels out of their 15 games.

The Force will miss the services of Kyle Godwin and Chris Alcock as they depart to the Brumbies, however the additions of Robbie Coleman and Tatafu Polota-Nau from the Brumbies and Warathas will certainly add some necessary experience and quality to their squad.  

The Force, with new coach David Wessels, will start Super Rugby 2017 with a trip to Sydney to face the Waratahs.
