The Western Force U16s team has been named for Saturday’s Super Rugby Men’s U16s with Rugby Victoria in Canberra, with more changes amid the busy schedule of fixtures.
The Force has selected a new-look front row, while made changes in the playmaker roles, with Palmyra’s Blaise Stewart and Southern Lions’ Joseva Ganilau to start at nine and 10.
Fresh from scoring against the NSW Waratahs, Jaxon Prior will run on at full-back, while Tevita Muli Uasilaa starts in midfield.
The Force has lost its opening two U16s games, albeit with encouraging performances which has seen the side score five tries in two games.
Saturday’s game at Viking Park in Canberra kicks off at 1pm and will be live on the rugby.com.au YouTube channel.
The Force thanks RugbyWA for its support for the U16s joint venture.
