The Western Force welcome back Wallaby back rower Ben McCalman to the starting XV to face the Brumbies on Friday night.
Head Coach Michael Foley has made five changes in total as he looks to add depth to his squad.
Young prop Jermaine Ainsley and lock Ross Haylett-Petty will start his first Super Rugby match, replacing Guy Millar and Steve Mafi respectively, while experienced hooker Heath Tessmann receives the nod ahead of capped Wallaby Nathan Charles.
The only change to the backs sees scrumhalf Ian Prior earn his first start of 2016, shifting Alby Mathewson to the bench.

Rebels flanker Jordy Reid has been elevated to the starting XV for the side's Australian derby against the Queensland Reds.
