The Reds will welcome Australia duo Digby Ioane and Peter Hynes to their backline for the clash with Western Force on Sunday.

Full-back Hynes has recovered from a dislocated finger so Luke Morahan moves back to the wing, while Ioane comes in at outside centre at the expense of Morgan Turinui.

In the only other change to the starting line-up, coach Ewen McKenzie has handed young lock Robert Simmons his Super Rugby starting debut.

Winless Force will hand starting debuts to marquee signing David Hill and hooker Ryan Tyrrell in Brisbane.

Former All Black Hill starts at fly-half, so James O'Connor moves across to inside centre.

Tyrrell replaces the sidelined Pek Cowan, with props Nic Henderson and Tim Fairbrother named to start and Matt Dunning on the bench.

There is one change in the back row, with Richard Stanford named at No.8 for the first time. Sam Wykes reverts back to the second row alongside Nathan Sharpe, with Tom Hockings moving to the bench.

In the backs, Dane Haylett-Petty wears the No.15 jersey in place of the injured Mark Bartholomeusz, who has tightness in his calf.

Sydney University flank Jono Jenkins, who has signed a short-term contract as an injury replacement, is named on the bench.
