Zac Lomax's Super Rugby Pacific Debut

0:00Zach Lomax can make his super rugby Pacific debut this weekend with the Western Force facing the Queensland Reds at Lang Park and Brisbane. The former rugby league star joined the force after leaving the paramata eels without a contract, and he's in the mix for selection on Saturday at 7.35pm, AEDT. Lomax knows the venue all too well from his league days, where he's faced rowdy crowds before. He scored tries for New South Wales and state of origin wins there, including the 2025 opener and the 2024 Decider, plus. Another big game for the eels last July. Reds hooker Matt Faceler isn't phased by the matchup, saying Lomax thrives in tough spots and wishing him luck if he plays. Facel is back from a knee injury that sideline him for four games, now battling Wallaby Josh Nasser for the starting hooker role. The Reds sit forth on the ladder with four wins from six matches, fresh off a four game streak, but stung by a heavy loss to the Hurricanes last week. The force have just won victory in six, yet they've kept most games close against top
