In the backs, Brad Weber will don the number 9 jersey with Xavier Roe taking a place on the bench and Alex Nankivell shifts into the midfield to partner Quinn Tupaea while Anton Lienert-Brown will wear number 22 on his back. Out wide, Sean Wainui returns on the left wing after having recovered from injury.
“While we came away with the win, we were frustrated with our performance last weekend against the Melbourne Rebels,” McMillan said. “We are better than that and want to produce a performance we are proud of for our fans back home.”
