Queensland Reds v Lions preview, teams and how to follow
@Source: bbc.com
The Queensland Reds team includes nine Australian internationals and two former All Blacks as they seek to cause an upset. However, six Wallabies, including flanker Fraser McReight, scrum-half Tate McDermott and fly-half Tom Lynagh, are missing as they are being held back for Australia's Test match against Fiji on Sunday. The pack has been strengthened by the arrival of prop Aidan Ross, who signed for the Reds after playing for the Waikato Chiefs in the Super Rugby final. Ross, who played a Test for the All Blacks in 2022, will form a front row with Wallaby hooker Matt Faessler and former New Zealand prop Jeffery Toomaga-Allen. "We have to be very good at the breakdown and aerially," said Kiss, who is set to take over from Joe Schmidt as head coach of Australia next year. "They've shown their attacking side too. We have to meet those challenges but we'll put our brand of rugby out there as well. "We'll keep backing ourselves. Why can't we put our best foot forward, rip in and see what happens? This is a great opportunity for our Reds players."
