Coleman named to face Force
Robbie Coleman will make his first appearance in 2014 when the Brumbies travel to Perth to take on the Western Force on Saturday.
Coleman was one of two changes to the starting side, with just one switch occurring on the bench.
Wallaby wing Joe Tomane has been ruled out through an ankle injury, which brings Coleman on to the wing.
Saturday is Coleman’s first appearance since the Brumbies travelled to Perth to face the Force in the corresponding fixture of the 2013 Super Rugby season.
Closer in, Wallaby outside centre Tevita Kuridrani takes back the starting spot in jersey No.13 with Andrew Smith moving to the bench.
The rest of the side remains as it was named for last week's encounetr with the Reds at the Canberra Stadium.
The Force will field up to nine former Brumbies Academy or Brumbies players in their team on Saturday – Robbie Abel, Phoenix Battye, Nathan Charles, Adam Coleman, Zack Holmes, Ian Prior, Junior Rasolea, Ed Stubbs and Rory Walton all currently holding contracts in the west.
