Dave Wessels coaching future undecided

Following news that the Force will no longer compete in Super Rugby after being axed by the ARU, Western Force coach Dave Wessels says he won’t make a decision on his future until hearing more details about Andrew Forrest’s breakaway rugby competition.

After RugbyWA’s Supreme Court appeal failed to overturn the decision, Forrest vowed to launch a breakaway rugby competition that takes in teams from the Indo Pacific region.

Teams from Japan, China, New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji, Singapore, and Hong Kong could feature in the competition.

“I’m very flattered that there’s some interest in me from different places,” Wessels said.

“Just like the players, I want to make a decision with my family.

“At the moment, we don’t have the complete information in terms of the alternatives.”

Forrest is expected to hold a press conference on Wednesday to unveil more details about the competition, and 34-year-old Wessels will hold back on any decisions until at least then.
