Force lose Daley ahead of Sharks clash

A 27-man Western Force touring squad departed for South Africa on Sunday as the team begins a two-week tour for clashes against the Sharks in Durban before a historic maiden game against the Jaguares in Buenos Aires.

Loosehead prop Ben Daley has been ruled out of the tour after injuring his knee against the Lions on the weekend.

In a big boost for the Western Australian side, Wallaby lock Adam Coleman joins the touring party along with fellow second-row Richie Arnold.
