The Western Force hosted the club's 2026 Nathan Sharpe Medal night to recognise the top men's individual performers following the conclusion of the side's Super Rugby campaign.
About 300 guests attended the glitzy event at the WACA's Wally Edwards Function Centre, where Vaiolini Ekuasi won the Nathan Sharpe Medal. The Kiwi claimed the Western Force's top men's individual gong, named after inaugural captain Nathan Sharpe and voted on a 3-2-1 basis by players after each game.
Vice-captain Nick Champion de Crespigny won the Force Man Award for the second straight season. The Force also acknowledged the club's 2026 debutants and departing players, along with 10 separate player milestones. Board members, current players, coaches, staff, past players, sponsors and media were all in attendance.
