[QUOTE="Wally, post: 51014"] [b]Barnes to make his debut[/b] Wednesday, February 08, 2006 [img]http://foxsports.news.com.au/common/imagedata/0,5001,5106550,00.jpg[/img] New recruit Berrick Barnes will make his Super 14 debut this Saturday night when the QR Queensland Reds take on arch rivals the Waratahs in the opening match of the 2006 Tooheys New Super 14 season at Suncorp Stadium, kick off 7.30pm. Barnes has been named at flyhalf with regular number 10 Elton Flatley pairing up in the centres with fellow flyhalf Julian Huxley. The unusual move came about with the pre-season injury to winger Peter Hynes forcing speedy utility Tim Atkinson from the centres onto the wing. Wallaby Lloyd Johansson will start on the bench but will be a useful impact player when called upon. Barnes is just one of up to six players making their Super 14 or Reds debut in the opening match with backrower James Horwill and prop Tom Court both named on the bench. Mitchell Chapman will make his run-on debut at openside flanker and utility back Henari Veratau starts his first Super 14 game for the Reds on the bench. Hooker Sean Hardman will provide the experience in between two young props, Greg Holmes and Rodney Blake, with Stephen Moore coming off the bench. Lock Mark Connors is still under an injury cloud but will be given until match day to prove his fitness. Lanky back-rower Cameron Treloar is on standby for Connors should he not pass the fitness test. Reds backs coach Damon Emtage made the following statements: On Berrick Barnes: "This team was picked on form and Berrick's form was irrepressible. He basically picked himself." "Things happen when Berrick's on the field and with the regularity that was happening we had to consider him in the fly-half role." "The team functions well with him there, his decision making ability is a special talent and that will compliment way we want to play on Saturday." On the Elton Flatley-Berrick Barnes combination: "Berrick and Elton have trained together for the full three months of pre-season and what the trials showed was the combinations that we're going to start and finish the match with will provide the most competitive edge to win the match." On Lloyd Johansson starting from the bench: "It's just for this match. We see Lloyd's contribution as very valuable to the team. His ability to be strike weapon will suit us well for Saturday."
