The Western Force will tour Japan in October and November where the side will play three matches against Japanese opposition.
The tour comes out of the Force’s partnership with Japanese National Women’s Rugby Championship champions Tokyo Sankyu Phoenix who travelled to Perth earlier this year and had front-row pair Natsuki Kashiwagi and Hinata Komaki join the WA club on exchange.
The Force will face both of last season’s Japanese National Women’s Rugby Championship finalists during the three-game tour, Tokyo Sankyu Phoenix and the Mie Pearls. Phoenix were Japanese champions in 2022 and 2023 and the Pearls saluted in 2021.
The Force will depart Perth for Tokyo on October 16. Any streaming details will be shared closer to the date of games.
