Reds name unchanged lineup

The Queensland Reds have named an unchanged lineup for Saturday night’s Super 15 Rugby final against the Crusaders at a sold out Lang Park.

Reds coach Ewen McKenzie has kept the same 22 man squad that beat the Blues 30-13 in last week’s semifinal.

It is the first time this season the Reds have fielded the squad in consecutive weeks.

McKenzie has only once named the same staring 15, ironically when the Reds beat the Crusaders 17-16 on May 29th.

The Crusaders have also stuck with the same side that overcame the Stormers in Cape Town, but scrum half Andy Ellis must pass a fitness test on knee and shoulder bruising.

Lock Luke Romano, who was quarantined in South Africa with chicken pox, was bracketed on the bench with Chris Jack.

The Reds first 15: Jono Lance, Rod Davies, Anthony Faingaa, Ben Tapuai, Digby Ioane, Quade Cooper, Will Genia, Radike Samo, Beau Robinson, Scott Higginbotham, James Horwill (c), Rob Simmons, Greg Holmes, Saia Faingaa and Ben Daley.

The Crusaders: Tom Marshall, Sean Maitland, Robbie Fruean, Sonny Bill Williams, Zac Guildford, Dan Carter, Andy Ellis or Kahn Fotuali’i, Kieran Read, Richie McCaw (c), George Whitelock, Sam Whitelock, Brad Thorn, Owen Franks, Corey Flynn and Wyatt Crockett.
