Jonah Placid has found his fit at the Western Force after rediscovering his love of rugby.
At just 24, Placid could already be called a journeyman of the game, having made the move from the Reds to the Rebels, then overseas to Toulon before returning to Australia to link with the Force.
A three-time U20 World Cup representative with the Junior Wallabies, Placid was an outstanding prospect who earnt his first Super Rugby cap for the Reds at just 18, before heading to the Rebels, where he played 18 matches over three seasons.
But after a two-year stint with Toulon in France, Placid admitted he did not know where his future in the game lay before he was thrown a lifeline by the Force.
