Watch Global Rapid Rugby LIVE on RugbyPass

By RugbyPass

The Western Force and their loyal Sea of Blue fanbase will be ready to unleash this Saturday when Global Rapid Rugby gets underway in Perth.

Six teams will compete for $1 million in prize money in a competition that features a number of rule changes that promote faster, attacking rugby.

All fixtures will be streamed LIVE right here on RugbyPass via our YouTube channel.

The Force played a series of exhibition games in 2018, which was followed by a Showcase Series last year but 2020 is the official launch of GRR, with competition points and a grand final berth now on the line.

It all begins on Saturday in a double header at HBF Park, with Manuma Samoa taking on South China Tigers, before the Western Force do battle with a Malaysia Valke outfit featuring plenty of South African players. The other round-one fixture will be Fijian Latui hosting the China Lions under lights in Suva. Watch it all live right here on RugbyPass.

Proctor didn't return to the squad did he?

No, ended his tour with the birth of his child. Plummer came in as cover for him, but injured his leg. AJ Lam is now covering centre.

Cane really sounds like he'll bit fit, is he going to want to play? I'd really like to see Kirifi earn a cap if Lakai was the only 7 (Ardie has to be all used up/finished for the year). Which young lock are we going to see come in?

He definitely will play if fit. Robertson has made it clear he wants Cane back for his final test. I guess it's safe to assume Roigard and Perenara will be the Halfbacks in that case.


There's still room for Kirifi in there, with Finau injured. Right now, we only have Savea, Cane, Lakai, Sititi, Kirifi, and Leo-Willie on hand. I'd be surprised if they don't rest Savea, Sititi, or both.


Darry injured his leg, and it's expected to take six weeks to recover. So the tour ended for him, and Holland got called in for cover. So it's likely him and Lord will be the two young locks picked for the Italy test.
