Kuridrani on the wing for Reds

Reds head coach Richard Graham has made one change to his starting side to take on the Waratahs in Sydney this weekend.

 

Chris Kuridrani returns to the matchday 23 for his first game of Super Rugby in three weeks, taking the place of winger Chris Feauai-Sautia, who has been ruled out with concussion.

 

Graham has named an extended 10-man bench for Saturday's match, with two players to be omitted prior to kick-off.

 

"There hasn"t been a lot of change. Due to injuries within the squad, we made enough changes in the first 16 rounds to last a number of seasons," Graham said.

 

"I wanted to give the players an opportunity to develop combinations and confidence as we look to finish the season with a win in Sydney.

 

"I am yet to finalise the bench due to a few bumps and bruises. I went with a six-two split last week given the threat the Chiefs provide in the forward pack. I might look to run that way again but I'll see how we are after our session Saturday morning.

 

"Hendrik [Tui] was our 18th debutant last weekend. It has been a frustrating season for him but anyone who watched the game closely would have seen the reasons why we brought him to the Reds. He has also been a fantastic contributor off the field around Ballymore and at his local club Norths."

 

Reds: 15 James O'Connor, 14 Chris Kuirdrani, 13 Karmichael Hunt, 12 Samu Kerevi, 11 Lachie Turner, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Will Genia, 8 Jake Schatz, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Adam Thomson, 5 James Horwill, 4 Rob Simmons, 3 Greg Holmes, 2 James Hanson, 1 James Slipper (captain).

Replacements: 16 Saia Fainga'a, 17 Pettowa Paraka, 18 Sam Talakai, 19 Ed O'Donoghue, 20 Beau Robinson, 21 Hendrik Tui, 22 Nick Frisby, 23 Jake McIntyre, 24 Ben Tapuai, 25 Jamie-Jerry Taulagi.

 

Date: Saturday, June 13

Venue: Allianz Stadium, Sydney

Kick-off: 19.40 (09.40 GMT)

Referee: Nick Briant (New Zealand)

Assistant referees: Matt O'Brien (Australia), Michael Hogan (Australia)

TMO: Ian Smith (Australia)
