The Western Force team lists for Round 1 of the Super Rugby Men’s U19 and U16 Championships have been confirmed ahead of Saturday’s games against the Melbourne Rebels at Claremont’s Revo Fitness Stadium.
In a collaborative partnership with RugbyWA, the Western Force U19s and U16s will compete in the five-team Super Rugby pathways competition, offering a key opportunity to develop the next wave of emerging WA talent.
The Force U16s take on the Rebels U16s from 11:40am at Revo Fitness Stadium, followed by the Force U19s against the Rebels U19s from 1:20pm this Saturday 30 September.
Entry to the game is free to the public. Parking may be limited due to the Perth Royal Show at Claremont Showgrounds, so please plan in advance or arrive early.
The wider squads were announced last week, with the Force holding a formal jersey presentation on Friday evening at Rendezvous Hotel Perth Scarborough with players, parents, Rugby WA and Force officials and key sponsors all present.
The Force thanks sponsors Fortescue, Goodyear, CD Dodd, AFGRI Equipment, Collar Group, SLW Transport, Elan and Rendezvous Hotel Perth Scarborough for their support.
