Filipo Daugunu has been listed on the bench while Ilaisa Droasese has been ruled out for the Reds ahead of the Super Rugby Australia final against the Brumbies tonight.

The starting team for the Reds includes Feao Fotuaika, Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Taniela Tupou, Ryan Smith, Lukhan Salakaia-Loto, Angus Scott-Young, Fraser McReight, Harry Wilson, Tate McDermott, James O'Connor (c), Jock Campbell, Hamish Stewart, Josh Flook, Jordan Petaia, Bryce Hegarty.

The Reds have opted for a surprise captaincy shift as back-rower Liam Wright returns to the bench.

James O'Connor takes over the captaincy, with Ryan Smith returning to the starting side, pushing Angus Scott-Young to his preferred flanker position.

Josh Flook comes into the centres in place of Hunter Paisami (facial fracture), with Paisami set to miss the next three weeks.

Jock Campbell has overcome a hamstring injury and returns to the wing.

The Brumbies will play the Reds in the Super Rugby Australia final at 9.45 tonight.
