NSW Country Eagles coach Darren Coleman has made a number of changes to his undefeated side ahead of Saturday’s clash against Perth Spirit.

Australian Sevens star Tom Cusack replaces Sam Figg and Randwick flanker Mark Baldwin replaces Rowan Perry in the backrow, while West Harbour utility Tayler Adams has been named at flyhalf, pushing Andrew Deegan to the bench.

Hooker Tolu Latu is also in doubt after being called in to the Wallabies 30-man Rugby Championship squad for upcoming Tests against South Africa and Argentina.

“It’s just a rotation. The guys that have come in have been working really hard and deserve some solid game time,” Coleman told Rugby News.

Saturday’s match was scheduled to be played in Orange, however heavy rain in the Central West in the days after last weekend’s local grand finals has made the field unplayable.

The match is now expected to be played in Sydney.
