The Reds team to take on the Stormers this weekend will see one of the former Western Province boys take the field and play an important role as Sam Lane continues in the flyhalf berth. Lane made his debut against the Brumbies and had an immediate impact, as the Reds have previously struggled with Dallan Murphy at pivot.
The form flyhalf for the early weeks in the competition, Mike Harris, is back and will play outside the young Lane, and will most likely take over the kicking duties as well.
Radike Samo is also back in the starting line-up to boost the Reds even further, as they face the in-form South African team on Friday.
Reds: 1. Ben Daley,2. James Hanson,3. James Slipper,4. Rob Simmons,5. James Horwill (c),6. Scott Higginbotham,7. Beau Robinson,8. Radike Samo,9. Will Genia (vc),10. Sam Lane,11. Dom Shipperley,12. Mike Harris,13. Ben Tapuai,14. Rod Davies,15. Luke Morahan
Replacements :16. Albert Anae,17. Greg Holmes,18. Van Humphries,19. Jake Schatz,20. Liam Gill,21. Ben Lucas,22. Nick Frisb

@Ben (Comment 2) : I think so too, but its going to be close.
@JarsonX (Comment 1) :
Ioane back in round 10.
Anthony Faingaa did his hamstring in round 2, return still unknown.
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 4) : Geez, still so long. Dont want to waste anymore trades. I guess ‘Did not play this round’ will not disappear anytime soon then. 🙁
@Ben (Comment 2) : @JarsonX (Comment 3) :
