Coach Foley dumped from Force: report

Michael Foley has reportedly been dumped as coach of Super Rugby’s perennially under-performing Western Force.

News Corp Australia says players have been called to a meeting at the Perth-based franchise on Thursday to inform them of the decision.

Foley is in his third season with the Force, who are last on the Australian conference and third-last overall with a 2-10 record this season.

The decision to change coach comes two weeks after the Australian Rugby Union formed an alliance with the Force to run the franchise, which is struggling with financial difficulty and inability to recruit top-line players.
