Wallabies forward named in Western Sydney Rams side for must-win clash
Wallabies lock Will Skelton has been named in John Muggleton’s Western Sydney Rams side to play Queensland County in Saturday’s must win clash at Concord Oval.
Both the Rams and Queensland Country are yet to register a win from their opening four matches and need a victory on Saturday to keep their slim finals hopes alive.
Former Reds halfback Scott Gale will miss the match through injury, giving Southern Districts No.9 Waldo Wessels his first start of the season. Former Australian Schoolboy and Randwick rake Harrison Goddard moves onto the bench.
The Rams have lost their last three matches against Super Rugby stacked sides by less than a converted try.
