The Western Force will celebrate club rugby at the upcoming Force vs Chiefs’ ‘Grass Roots Game’ with a range of activations including 30% off tickets for club rugby members and the chance for clubs to win a $5,000 Gilbert voucher.

The Grass Roots Game, which will be held at HBF Park on Saturday 28 March from 4:35pm, will see the Club celebrate and recognize the incredible contribution rugby clubs make across Western Australia.

The clubs, players, volunteers, officials, coaches and families form the foundation of our great game.

30% off tickets for club rugby

As part of that, the Force are offering 30% off silver tickets to club rugby members – players, officials, participants and coaches.

Gilbert prizes for most tickets purchased

Each WA rugby club will be allocated a code, with prizes – thanks to Gilbert Rugby – for the three clubs that have the most tickets purchased via their code. Prizes are follows:

  • 1st Prize: $5,000 in vouchers from Gilbert Rugby
  • 2nd Prize: $2,000 in vouchers from Gilbert Rugby
  • 3rd Prize: $1,000 in vouchers from Gilbert Rugby

To access the discount, contact your club for the unique code, then:

  1. Purchase tickets for the match,
  2. Enter (CODE) in the discount code box,
  3. Receive 30% off silver seating.

Get your tickets via Ticketmaster.

This is a great opportunity to bring your teams, juniors, families and supporters together for a big night of Super Rugby.

Force player club visits

As part of the Grass Roots Game festivities, Force players will visit their allocated Premier Grade clubs on Tuesday 24 March ahead of the Round 7 clash.

Club rugby rego stalls

WA rugby clubs will have the opportunity to have a registration stall inside HBF Park at the Fan Zone near Gate 1 on gameday at no cost with a view to driving registrations ahead of the 2026 club rugby season.

Premier Grade champions lap of honour

Last season’s Premier Grade Men’s and Women’s premiership-winning teams Wanneroo will perform a lap of honour either pre-game or at half-time as part of the celebrations. This marks a great way to recognise the best local rugby players.

Half-time activations

Clubs will get the opportunity to participate in the Retravision Catch for Cash at half-time on the field, where they can earn Retravision vouchers for their clubs.

Guard of Honour

Force players will run onto the field pre-game through a Guard of Honour formed by one senior and one junior representative from WA rugby clubs.

Ball Kids club socks

All ball kids assisting the game on the sideline will wear their club colours during the game with club socks.

Fans on Field

For the first time this season, fans will be welcome on the field to mingle with players offering opportunities for selfies, signatures and general chats.
