Andrew Forrest’s World Series Rugby is still bubbling and Hong Kong get their chance to audition against Western Force
The HKRU have shown interest in the mining magnate’s breakout competition from the outset and get a first-hand look on Friday in Perth
Hong Kong will get their first taste of Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest’s “World Series Rugby” when they take on the Western Force in Perth on Friday as details around a more permanent version of the mining magnate’s breakout competition remain vague.
Hong Kong are the sixth team on the Force’s schedule – after the likes of Fiji A, Tonga and Samoa – and Hong Kong Rugby Union chief executive Robbie McRobbie says he will be watching Friday’s action “with keen interest”.
“It’s obviously interesting for us to see how we would stack up against the Force if we ended up in the competition,” he said.
“We are watching developments with interest and we remain interested in the competition, depending on what the details are like.
