Goromaru at fullback for Reds

Goromaru is one of two changes to the starting side that lost 10-30 to the Waratahs last week. An ankle injury to Henry Teafu (6-8 weeks) has forced a backline shuffle, with Karmichael Hunt shifting to inside centre and Goromaru taking Hunt's place at fullback. 

On the bench, Junior Laloifi is in line to make his Queensland and Super Rugby debut after being named as cover for the outside backs.

Graham said his side was looking forward to their first home game of the year.

"This is an important game for us and we're pleased it is at Suncorp Stadium. We are continuing to build and the support of our home supporters will be important," he said.

Reds: 15 Ayumu Goromaru, 14 Chris Feauai-Sautia, 13 Samu Kerevi, 12 Karmichael Hunt, 11 Eto Nabuli, 10 Jake McIntyre, 9 Nick Frisby, 8 Jake Schatz, 7 Curtis Browning, 6 Hendrik Tui, 5 Rob Simmons (captain), 4 Cadeyrn Neville, 3 Greg Holmes, 2 Saia Fainga'a, 1 Ben Daley.
