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 Western Force is all about! Enjoy the game!
