The Western Force has announced its 28-man travelling squad for the two-match South African leg of the Asteron Life Super Rugby competition.
Flanker Angus Cottrell (ankle), fullback Dane Haylett-Petty (foot) and winger Luke Morahan (hamstring) are set to make their returns from injury and will travel to ‘the Republic’ with the 23 players involved in last night’s match against the Melbourne Rebels.
Lock Wilhelm Steenkamp, who started off the bench in last Friday’s match against the ACT Brumbies, has been selected in the Force squad, as has Greater Sydney Rams prop Guy Millar, who will provide additional coverage in the front row following Francois van Wyk’s season-ending pectoral injury suffered against the Queensland Reds a fortnight ago.
Haylett-Petty has been absent from the Force line-up since their Week One win over the NSW Waratahs, while Cottrell and Morahan sustained their injuries against the Reds and Brumbies respectively.
The Western Force will depart today before taking on the Bulls in Pretoria (Saturday, 21 March) and the Sharks in Durban on Saturday, 28 March.
Tickets to Western Force’s next home match against the Cheetahs on Saturday, 11 April are now available! Visit ticketmaster.com.au.
