Western Force have named a weakened side to face the Lions tomorrow morning in Perth.

Corey Brown , Dane Haylett-Petty, Chris Tuatara-Morrison, Ed Stubbs, James Hilterbrand and Sam Christie have all been named despite having only 20 Super rugby appearances between them.

International back row Matt Hodgson and tighthead prop Salesi Ma'afu do start however the coach says they are resting many players for their game against New South Wales Waratahs on Sunday.

Brian O'Driscoll will lead out the Lions, although Warren Gatland will have concerns over Rob Kearney who has a Grade 1 tear to his hamstring.
