Wallabies players boost the Force team ahead of the Waratahs game tonight

Wallabies players boost the Force team ahead of the Waratahs game tonight

The Western Force have received a significant boost ahead of their clash with the NSW Waratahs tonight at HBF Park in Perth, as several Wallabies make their return to the side.

Coach Dan McKellar has made many changes, including recalling Taniela Tupou to the starting side and naming Lawson Creighton at fullback.

Force coach Simon Cron will welcome five Wallabies to the starting side, headlined by injured duo Carlo Tizzano and Dylan Pietsch.

Tizzano has made a rapid return from a pectoral injury, and Pietsch has been cleared of a quad injury that has sidelined him since Round Eight.

Stand-out flanker Nick Champion de Crespigny also joins Tizzano in the starting pack after he was cleared from HIA protocols.

Harry Potter, Hamish Stewart and Nic White return after being rested last week in the side's loss to the Fijian Drua in Lautoka.

The Western Force is out of contention for finals, with the club set for a final-round bye.

The Force will face the Waratahs at 9.35pm.
