Looking great in attack

On the back of this game he’s looking like his confidence is back

Force bottle the clearance though

Hattrick, he's putting his hand up showing his qualities on this loan. Borthwick has shown he likes that sort of player who steps up and performs, will be interesting to see what happens with him (reckon Western Force may also be interested in keeping him)
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Jordan had an amazing game today and what a hat trick! The 2 second half tries were almost right in front of me too!

Add to that a victory against the undefeated Reds and a first Super Rugby Finals for the Force will at least make the 3-day covid lockdown that starts in 4 hours a bit more bearable.

2nd try was no easy finish with three defenders trying to tackle him. He always had the potential, hopefully he’ll be back in a Tigers shirt for next season.

Stu Farmer has just tweeted that Olofowela is only the 5th Western Force player to score a hat trick in Super Rugby history! Well done that man!

Perth is a rather nice part of the world. Good opportunity for him to get game time and develop. As long as the Force don't start retaining them could be good to have an agreement in place to loan a development player or two each year.

Have to say Olowofela really took his opportunities well and what a great hat trick. Great pace for the first, great strength for the second and really good finish for the third. Very impressive performance against quality opposition. Worth a watch of the highlights :smt023

Their season isn't over yet.
Their Super Rugby AU campaign has ended but next month the Super Rugby TransTasman competition begins (where each SR-AU side plays each SR-NZ side once).

He may also play in the Dewar Shield (Victoria club comp) through to late July.

Looks like he may be better suited to the faster style of play and the dry pitches in SR. They're also not quite so obsessed with physicality. The game is much more skill-based down there.
