Reed Prinsep is captaining the Force on their tour to SA. There are a few other players who have moved too.
Also included in the squad is one Sio Tomkinson. Coby Miln is a Kiwi I watched play 1st XV rugby.
Western Force spring series tour squad:
Forwards: Albert Alcock, Sam Carter (vc), Nick Champion de Crespigny, Nic Dolly, Lopeti Faifua, Will Harris, Harry Hoopert, Tom Horton, Titi Nofoagatotoa, Marley Pearce, Reed Prinsep (c), Tom Robertson, Dane Sawers, Darcy Swain, Tiaan Tauakipulu, Josh Thompson, Silafono TitiutiBacks: Max Burey, Issak Fines-Leleiwasa, Mac Grealy, Justin Landman, Ronan Leahy, Coby Miln, Divad Palu, Doug Philipson, George Poolman, Harry Potter, Isaac Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens, Henry Robertson (vc), Patelesio Tomkinson
I have a hunch that Isaac Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens might be related to Jacob.

TBF there are a lot of kids his size in Western Sydney who would fucking stomp a lot of the private school teams. It used to happen back in the day when the public schools combined team would smash fuck out of the private schools selection, despite not being great at ruck and set piece, then go play league on Sunday.

As long as his Dad never coaches
He is still inappropriately drooling over the Fox sisters

Former Highlander Sio Tomkinson has left the Welsh Dragons to join the Western Force.

@Bovidae LOL No chance.
They like their players to... What's the term? Ah yes "not be made of glass"

Good day in Australian Rugby
The Rebels are suing the ARU for the way they were axed, basically saying they were lied to and the ARU acted inappropriately. Just what the game needs right now.
Joseph Suiali'i apparently has a 2-year, $4m player option for the end of his contract. Very nice little contract his germ of a manager managed to get for him.
Coincidentally i have never seen the interest in junior rugby as low as it is this year.

Rugby Vic needs to cut its losses, ditch the brand and everything (our age grade are still playing as U16 and U19 Rebels) and just concentrate on the local scene, you never know one day down the track we might ave a chance of a professional team again but the more they taint things the less likely we'll ever be trusted again

i think this is less Rugby Vic and more a bunch of Directors with skin in the game.

@mariner4life you might be right, i guess a different way to view it is Rugby Vic should distance itself from the whole Rebels brand so as not to be tainted any further but this drama
