Wayne Smith proposes something radical for the Reds, namely switching back-rower Scott Higginbotham to midfield for their meeting with the Force, in The Australian.
"The Reds lost half their backline in their brutal 22-14 loss to the Brumbies at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night, with strike winger Digby Ioane, defensive linchpin Anthony Faingaa and rising fullback Ben Lucas all badly injured.
"A stunned hush fell over the stadium when Ioane was knocked out cold by a head-high tackle by Ita Vaea in the 49th minute -- a moment of carelessness that earned the Brumbies number eight a one-week suspension yesterday -- but for all the drama surrounding the incident it appears he will spend less time on the sidelines that his two other injured teammates."
