Western Force coach Michael Foley produced a couple of surprises in his new-look back line in the 20-18 pre-season trial loss to the ACT Brumbies in Darwin on Friday.
Foley, in his first game at the helm, played centre-winger Will Tupou at full-back and shifted Paddy Dellit, who had played only full-back or outside centre for the Force, to one wing and Alfie Mafi, who had an outstanding season last year at No.15, to the other.

Hope Foley sticks with his combinations for the Force's second trial against the Tongan invitational side. From the article it talks about being a bit rusty in the first 20 so some continuity would be great heading into the season. Really want to have a great hit out against the Rebels in round 1 and start the season with a win.This article finally gave a bit of info on who played where for the Force
