The Force are always eager to connect with community rugby and this is a fantastic opportunity to play alongside the emerging and grass roots rugby talent of the region, both male and female.
Were excited to put on a show for all the participants and supporters who stick around to enjoy our final pre-season trial game ahead of our Super W campaign, against Queensland Country wholl bring a strong side.
