The Western Force has named a strong 30-man squad for their upcoming tour of South Africa which also forms part of the Toyota Challenge in Bloemfontein.
The Perth-based Australian Super Rugby franchise will tackle the Toyota Cheetahs as well as Emerging Ireland in Bloemfontein next month, while they will also play against Western Province in Stellenbosch.
The Force have included the likes of the veteran Wallabies forward Sam Carter who is the vice-captain, while the speedy outside back Harry Potter will also be in action again.
Last year the Cheetahs and Force faced each other in two home and away matches in the competition.
The acting Force head coach, Will Eggleston, said this is an important tour.
The Cheetahs and Force will kick-off the tournament on 2 October at the Toyota Stadium.
