Goromaru named to start at fullback for Reds against Force

Queensland Reds coach Richard Graham has made two changes to his starting lineup ahead of this weekend's round two Super Rugby clash against the Western Force. An ankle injury to Henry Teafu  has forced a backline shuffle, with Karmichael Hunt shifting to inside centre and Japanese Test player Ayumu Goromaru making his run-on debut at fullback. On the bench, Ballymore Kid contract winner Junior Laloifi is in line to make his Queensland and Super Rugby debut after being named as cover for the outside backs. Graham said his side was looking forward to their first home game of the year. "This is an important game for us and we’re pleased it is at Suncorp Stadium.
