Two days out from World Series Rugby Game 2, two Australian under-20 players are ready to make their starting debuts for the Force.
Local star Clay Uyen will start at full-back replacing Peter Grant, who has recovered well from the concussion he suffered in last Friday’s win over Fiji. Hooker Alifeleti Kaitu’u will start on the park replacing vice-captain Heath Tessmann who will miss with hamstring soreness.
Into the squad for his first taste of Force rugby comes wing/full-back Henry Taefu and young scrumhalf Elliott Turner.
