From the Western Force Website:
The Western Force Under 20s side has been named for their final match of the Super 20s Championship against the NSW Gen Blue 20s at McGillivray Oval on Saturday, 26 March.
The Force Under 20s will be keen to put in a good performance in their final outing of the season with the Western Australian side on the hunt for their first win of the season.
In the front row, Tom Sheminant of Nedlands starts at loosehead linking up with Palmyra hooker Taine Oakley while UWA’s Shambeckler Vui will start at tighthead. Rockingham’s Fredrick Van Der Heyden and Nedlands’ Sam Offer will partner in the second row for the third time this season.
In the backrow Palmyra’s Evan Stafford runs on at blindside while Rockingham product Sosifa Likio has been named at blindside, vice-captain Tevin Ferris of Nedlands rounds out the forward pack at No.8.
In the backline Angus Taylor will again captain the side at scrumhalf and links up with fellow Wests Scarborough teammate Eli Greaves who switches from fullback to start at flyhalf for the first time.
Jerseys 11 through to 14 are dominated by Palmyra products with Onehunga Havili and Trey Moloney again starting on the wings while Leighton Short and Michael Fotu have been named at inside and outside centre respectively. Clay Uyen comes back into the side for the first time since round one at fullback.
Coming off the bench, Toro Ready, Luke Fouwler and Michael Ninkov get their first opportunity of the season and will look to make it count when they are injected into the game against a quality NSW outfit.
Western Force under 20’s coach Dwayne Nestor said the side is determined to finish the season on a positive note.
“We are excited for the clash,” he said. “We have picked a couple of new faces in the squad to see what they can do, so we’ll see what happens on Saturday.”
“We are disappointed with our Rebels and Brumbies matches because we thought we were capable of winning those games but we are keen to really dig in this week and hopefully come away with a result.”
The Western Force Under 20’s match will kick-off at 4:30PM AWST following the Western Australia U/15s Junior Gold Cup final against ACT which starts at 3:00PM AWST, so get down to McGillivray Oval on Saturday, 26 march to see some of the state’s brightest young talents in action.
