Loving this graphics,

I have said it before, so I'll say it again - could not be happier with the Force.

[Rob @nipper68]

Congrats to Harry Potter and all the other @westernforce players selected for the Northern Hemisphere tour!

Freak Power is no joke; this is our country, too, and we can goddamn well control it if we learn to use the tools.

@balumbah You're making me envious!

[Rob @nipper68]

Does it drive anyone else crazy when rugby people refer to the ref as "the sir"? Petty, I know - but still drives me nuts.

[Rob @nipper68]

Beautiful! Squad is shaping up to be formidable.

[Ben Smith @BenSmith94]

Big signing for the Force. Outside back room was looking a bit light on in terms of experience outside of Potter - Pietsch's arrival alleviates that.

Backs with Test caps: Donaldson, White, IF-L, Stewart, Proctor & now Pietsch. https://t.co/Dv0K21ykat

Wow, Tane Edmed is looking really good for N. Harbour. Seems that their game suits him well.

I think we can safely say that they got it wrong on the Defensive Player of the Year award last year. Micah Parsons > Myles Garrett.

22 - @wallabies’ Carlo Tizzano completed 22 tackles without missing any v 🇦🇷; the last player to make more while maintaining a 100% success rate in a @SanzarTRC game was Richie McCaw, who made 26 v 🇦🇺 in 2010 - overall Tizzano has made 57/57 tackles in the 2024 #TRC. Trapped.

Finally got to watch the Wallabies match. Carlo Tizzano, take a bow! #seaofblue

My latest Australian column for @RugbyPass, in which I really enjoyed taking a closer look on new #Wallabies workhorse opensider Carlo Tizzano.

(Also features a cameo from Sean McMahon, and why that door should be long closed)

35 - @wallabies’ Carlo Tizzano has been successful from 35/35 tackle attempts in the 2024 #TRC, the most of any player yet to miss one, with only Ethan Blackadder making more tackles overall (40); he has also hit more rucks than any other player in the competition (60). Shield.

Has Lukhan Salakaia-Loto signed with anyone for 2025?
