Tom Farr-Jones, nephew of 1991 World Cup winning captain Michael, will line up on the wing, while Toby Brial pulls on the sky blue jersey at number eight, following the path of dad Michael instead of brother Joe, who will play a big part in Queensland's Super Rugby Pacific squad.
For the Force, they have turned to their Academy stars, with winger Chase Bunce, the nephew of former All Black Frank.
New recruit Max Innes will start at fly-half, joining from the Northampton Saints Academy, with the likes of Peni Naqau, Luke Holt-Brown and Chris Jansen previously named in Australia U16s squads.
