Richard Hardwick commits to Force for 2018

The Western Force have re-signed local product and recent Wallaby debutant Richard Hardwick for the 2018 Super Rugby season. 

The former UWA junior was upgraded from the Extended Playing Squad to a full senior squad contract, after an impressive season for the Force in 2017. 

The tenacious back rower has built his game on tireless defensive efforts and constant pressure on the ball carrier, placing him in the top 10 in the Super Rugby competition for forced turnovers and no doubt a big factor in what caught Wallaby head coach Michael Chieka’s eye.
