Graham has made a single change to the starting side that lost 3-31 to the Crusaders, with Reds centurion Greg Holmes returning to the field for the first time since the World Cup Final.

"It's a good opportunity for us continue to challenge ourselves and the way we want to play this season," said Graham. "The fact we get to play at Ballymore again is an added bonus. 

"This is our final trial before the season proper kicks off. We did some good things last weekend, but we want to see more from the group Friday night. We have been working hard to create pressure and we need capitalise on those opportunities.”

Reds: 15 Karmichael Hunt, 14 Chris Feauai-Sautia, 13 Samu Kerevi, 12 Henry Taefu, 11 Eto Nabuli, 10 Jake McIntyre, 9 Nick Frisby, 8 Jake Schatz, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Lolo Fakaosilea, 5 Rob Simmons (captain), 4 Cadeyrn Neville, 3 Greg Holmes, 2 Andrew Ready, 1 Ben Daley.            

Replacements – from: Saia Fainga'a, Sef Fa'agase, Sam Talakai, Ben Matwijow, Curtis Browning, Hendrik Tui, Scott Gale, Sam Greene, Junior Laloifi, Campbell Magnay, Ayumu Goromaru.

Date: Friday, February 12

Venue: Ballymore Stadium, Brisbane

Kick-off: 19.30 (8.30 GMT)

Referee: Angus Gardner

Assistant referees: Nic Berry, Jordan Way
