Wallabies lock Nick Frost returns to the ACT Brumbies starting XV for their Super Rugby AUS round-two clash with the Western Force at North Coast Rugby Club, Perth, on Sunday. Frost missed the opening-round win over defending champions the NSW Waratahs but slots back in at lock, replacing Josh Townsend.

Frost partners captain Toby Macpherson in the second row, with Macpherson having led the Brumbies for the first time last weekend. The only other change to the forward pack sees Tavita Loughland handed a debut at blindside flanker, with the rest of the pack unchanged. Lington Ieli, Liam Bowron and Super Rugby Pacific regular Rhys van Nek form the front row, while Eli Langi starts at openside flanker and Oscar Cleary wears the No. 8 jersey.

In the backs, Klayton Thorn links up with Wallaby Tane Edmed in the halves. David Feliuai and Jarrah McLeod continue their midfield partnership, with Corey Toole and Ollie Sapsford on the wings and Triston Reilly again named at fullback.

The Brumbies face the Force at 3:30 pm AEST on Sunday afternoon.
