Round 3 of the Super Rugby season gets underway this Friday – check out the full Round 3 teams for every side here.
Young star Jordan Petaia will miss the Reds’ clash with the Jaguares on Sunday morning having picked up a shoulder injury in training. The news is a blow for the Queensland outfit, who are attempting to end their winless start to the season away to the undefeated Argentinians.
Brad Thorn has made a couple of other changes to his side, moving Jock Campbell to fullback and Bryce Hegarty to the bench, while Hunter Paisami takes Petaia’s spot at outside centre.
However, there’s no change in the haves, with James O’Connor remaining in the no.10 jersey while Isaac Lucas stays parked on the bench and Hamish Stewart at inside centre.
The Brumbies have added James Slipper, Will Miller and Darcy Swain to their run-on XV for Saturday night’s clash with the Highlanders at GIO Stadium. Despite winning their opening two matches of the season, Dan McKellar has elected to make the changes as they look to win their 11th straight game at home.
Scott Sio and Cadeyrn Neville drop to the bench, while Tom Cusack has been rested after he suffered a head injury last week.
Their opponents, the Highlanders, have made three changes too. Shannon Frizell replaces Dillon Hunt at blindside flanker, Patelesio Tomkinson replaces Tima Fainga’anuku on the right wing, while Paripari Parkinson’s injury sees Jesse Parete come into the startling line-up off the bench.
Jack Maddocks will make his first start for the Waratahs against the Melbourne Rebels on Friday night, with the former Rebel joining the XV on the left wing at the expense of promising youngster Mark Nawaqanitawse – who’s been dropped to the bench. Rob Penney told AAP the youngster was just being managed.
It’s one of a handful of changes made by first-year coach Penney, who’s promoted Angus Bell to the tighthead prop role, while bringing Jed Holloway back into the XV in the back row. Cameron Clark will also make his 2020 debut on the right wing, with Alex Newsome switching to outside centre.
Melbourne, on the other hand, will head into this must-win clash with a new halfback after Ryan Louwrens was named to start into the no.9 jersey. Richard Hardwick will start at openside flanker, shifting Michael Wells to the blindside, while Campbell Magnay starts at outside centre – shifting Reece Hodge to the wing. Frank Lomani drops to the bench as a result, as do Angus Cottrell and Andrew Kellaway.
The Blues have named a virtually unchanged line-up for their round-opening clash with the Crusaders. Ofa Tuungafasi and James Parsons will join the starting XV, with Kurt Eklund and Sione Mafileo dropping to the bench. The Crusaders receive a huge boost in the form of Richie Mo’unga’s return.
