Rugby: Shepherd back with Force

Australian Super 15 rugby team the Western Force has re-signed former Wallabies fullback Cameron Shepherd, its leading pointscorer, on a two-year contract.

Shepherd, 26, has played for the Force for five seasons, scoring 337 points including 32 tries. His form in the last two seasons has been affected by a string of injuries.

Shepherd said he was excited to be spending another two seasons with the Perth-based franchise and hoped to be able to produce his best form for the team over the next two years.
