Force v Reds: Teams

James Hanson: Will wear the No.2 jersey for the Reds

Richard Brown: Back for the Western Force

The Western Force have rung the changes for the Super Rugby derby against the Reds on Saturday.

Richard Brown, Toby Lynn and Pek Cowan will start in the pack - with Samu Wara coming in on the wing and Nick Cummins moving to the centres.

Sam Wykes, Will Tupou, Cameron Shepherd, Pat Dellit, Justin Turner and Napolioni Nalaga are among those missing through injury, however Ben McCalman has been passed fit to start on the bench.

There is also a place among the replacements for Kyle Godwin, with the utility back poised to make his first Super Rugby appearance.

Reds coach Ewen McKenzie has reacted to the 61-8 thrashing by the Bulls last time out by making a whole host of changes.

Hooker James Hanson, prop James Slipper and lock Van Humphries will add some experience to the side, while flanker Liam Gill earns his second start of the season.

In the backs, centre Joel Rapana will make his debut after being called in to replace Jono Lance.

McKenzie has made a further two changes on the bench, with Albert Anae and Eddie Quirk coming into the side.
