FORCE v BAY OF PLENTY

Friday 16 JULY HBF Park | 7.30pm DEAR PLAYERS, MEMBERS AND FANS,

After a historic campaign came to an end in Auckland last month, we are thrilled to be back home in Perth for another night of live rugby. It’s a unique game day for the club, as we welcome New Zealand provincial heavyweights the Bay of Plenty, CEO Mike Rogers, head coach Daryl Gibson, and their entire squad to WA.

I welcome back our loyal Sea of Blue to the Force Field for the first time since May – we have missed you greatly! As always, we can’t wait to hear you supporting the team loud and proud tonight.

On behalf of the entire organisation, I’d like to extend our utmost thanks to each and every Member and fan that supported us from home and afar throughout our Super Rugby campaign. Your noise on game day and messages of support do not go unnoticed and we can’t thank you enough.

This is a special occasion for the organisation, as we continue to build on this year’s success by hosting an international club team on home soil. The Bay of Plenty are one of New Zealand’s top provincial unions. Last year they made the top four in the Mitre 10 Cup and they bring a large number of Super Rugby, New Zealand Maori and ex All Blacks players.

Let’s show our guests what the is all about!

Enjoy the game!

Tony Lewis CEO, Western Force FORCE BATTLE BAY OF PLENTY AT THE FORCE FIELD Live rugby returns to HBF Park this Friday with an action-packed match-up between the Western Force and the Bay of Plenty. This will be our fans final chance to catch the Force in action in Perth for 2021 and it’s set to be a special occasion with legend Kieran Longbottom and club stalwart Chris Heiberg bidding farewell to the Sea of Blue in their last appearance. New Zealand provincial powerhouse Bay of Plenty have named a strong squad for the game, with Super Rugby duo Luke Campbell () and Nathan Harris () co-captaining the side. The Steamers will be bringing plenty of flair and entertainment to the contest with All Blacks and Chiefs scrumhalf Te Tairoa Tahuriorangi set to excite. Force head coach has selected a team full of homegrown talent, with almost 50% of the matchday squad products of the Academy system, including current Force Fortescue Academy players Zantana Pomare and Finn O’Callaghan. The stage is set for a fantastic night of rugby at the Force Field and we can’t wait to see you all there!
