The Waratahs front-row went to work in Fiji, with Moananu the standout with a double and a try assist as he started up after a host of injuries.
Barrett continues to develop nicely, getting through some solid work while holding down his end on the scrum.
Epenisa rounds out the front row after several strong carries for the Force, with his teammate Brandon Paenga-Amosa very unlucky to miss out on selection at hooker.
Impossible to narrow it down to two but Amatosero and Swain get the nods for their respective side’s dominance over the lineout.
Amatosero had three steals whilst not missing a tackle, while Swain had the Reds in a pretzel with his superb reading of their throws, and was powerful in defence.
Teammates Matt Philip and Jeremy Williams were also superb, with Reds lock Hamish Muller standing out on his starting debut.
Brial wins a razor-thin decision over Clem Halaholo for selection at blindside flanker, thanks to a clutch try, two lineout steals and several dominant tackles.
Tizzano was the obvious choice at openside, crossing for a double and getting some great pressure over the ball.
The forwards are concluded by Wilson after a strong attacking performance, setting up Brial for his try to go with double-digit carries and tackles.
The childhood friends get the nod after turning in an electric attacking performance, especially in the first half.
Wilson backed up nicely to capitalise on Halaholo’s break and also forced the Drua down to 14 after his great snip, with Bowen producing a great kick for Max Jorgensen to cross.
Max Burey narrowly missed out at fly-half, putting in a quality outing built on the back of a dominant kicking game.
Creighton was strong at the second playmaker, adding some grunt to their backline with five tackle busts and a try assist.
It was a similar performance from Henry, serving a powerful battering ram to get the Reds over the advantage line.
A mix of the three teams, with Pietsch’s form remaining undeniable, with seven tackle busts and a game-high 130 metres.
Former Force flyer Potter partners with him on the wing, rebounding on his return to the starting side with a well-worked try and three tackle busts.
His Waratahs teammate Max Jorgensen just misses out, with Campbell getting the nod after two line breaks, three tackle busts and a game-high 124 metres.
