McInnes Wilson Lawyers Brisbane City have named their side to take on the University of Canberra Vikings in a Horan-Little Shield challenge match at Ballymore Stadium this Sunday.

City coaches have made three changes to the starting XV from last week’s win over the Western Sydney Rams, with a shuffle in the backline presenting Brothers flyer Mitch Felsman his first starting opportunity in the Buildcorp National Rugby Championship after scoring a double on debut.

Felsman will make his run-on debut on the wing, while Patrick James has been shifted from fullback to inside centre and Western Force squad member Brad Lacey moves from wing to fullback.

The bench features a six-two split, with Wests lock Jeremiah Lynch brought in to make his Brisbane City and NRC debut.

City head coach Rod Seib said: “We’re looking forward to this weekend. It’s going to be a difficult match, the toughest of the season so far, but these are the sort of challenges we get excited for. We know we need to improve on last weekend’s performance to get a win against the Vikings.”

Fans are encouraged to make the most of the family friendly kick-off time and get to Ballymore Stadium this Saturday afternoon to watch some entertaining, attacking Rugby. As is tradition with games at Ballymore, fans will be allowed on the field after the match.

Wallabies legend Tim Horan will also be present following the match to present the Horan-Little Shield to the winning captain.

Brisbane City plays the University of Canberra Vikings at Ballymore Stadium this Sunday at 1:00pm. Tickets are available at www.redsrugby.com.au. The match will also be live streamed at www.foxsports.com.au.
