The Western Force have received a major boost for Friday’s historic Buildcorp Super Rugby Women’s semi-final with the return of inspirational skipper Trilleen Pomare.
Pomare missed the Force’s thrilling 38-36 win over the ACT Brumbies with a minor knock but is named to start in the side’s first-ever semi-finals appearance.
Japan international front-rower Misaki Suzuki comes into the team as a reserve to replace hooker Sara Cline who has departed for international duty with Canada for the upcoming Pacific Four Series.
The pair are the only two changes from the side that beat the Brumbies in Canberra on Saturday to clinch third spot.
The Force take on reigning back-to-back champions Fijian Drua from 12:35pm WST on Friday at HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
The Super W semi-final will be live on Stan Sport, while there will be regular updates @WesternForce on social media.
