- Former National Rugby League star Zac Lomax is set to make his Super Rugby Pacific debut for the Western Force against the Queensland Reds at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday, likely appearing as a replacement.
- Lomax signed a two-year deal with the Force following an early release from the Parramatta Eels, transitioning to the 15-aside game after a highly publicized exit from rugby league.
- Fullback Max Burey said Lomax has "ripped into" training, while Kurtley Beale praised his physical presence and athleticism, adding depth alongside Test winger Dylan Pietsch's potential return.
- Queensland Reds hooker Matt Faessler acknowledged Lomax's capabilities but said "it will be interesting to see how he goes" against a hostile Suncorp Stadium crowd on debut.
- The Force enter Saturday's match with a 1-5 record, seeking a win to keep their season alive during this critical two-game road swing against top competition.
