Super Rugby: Anthony Fainga’a In For Reds As Harris Forced Out
Reds Media Release -
Queensland Reds head coach Richard Graham has been forced to make a change to the team to face the Waratahs, with Mike Harris ruled out late due to an ankle injury.
Harris will be replaced by Anthony Fainga’a at inside centre, who will start his first game of the season for the Reds. Ben Lucas comes into the match-day 23 as a replacement on the reserves bench.
Harris pulled up fine from the Reds’ 27-17 win over the Brumbies last weekend and trained well early in the week, but complained of ankle soreness after weights this morning.
He missed morning training to go for a scan on the ankle and has since been ruled out.
The Reds face the Waratahs at ANZ Stadium in Sydney this Saturday, 1 March, at 7:40pm (local time).
