Cubelli Starts Against Western Force

Puma Tomás Cubelli will start against the Western Force on Saturday. The Argentine scrum half is one of fortune players retained from last weekend.

The only alteration sees South African Ruan Smith replacing Ben Alexander at tighthead prop. Alexander will feature from the bench.

From Belgrano Athletic club in Buenos Aires, Cubelli made the move to Canberra this season. His move has seen great success with him starting all but one match. The Sydney Morning Herald has been so impressed with Cubelli that he was named as the scrum half in the Australian Super Rugby Dream Team.
