The Western Force have named a 30-member team list for Fridays womens pre-season trial game against Tokyo Sankyu Phoenix with Super W spots up for grabs.
The Force will take on the Japanese champions as part of a Friday night double-header from 4:30pm, followed by the mens side facing the Hurricanes from 7pm at HBF Park.
Force head coach Dylan Parsons said every player would get minutes in Fridays trial game which comes three weeks out from the Super W season opener against the Melbourne Rebels on Friday March 15 at HBF Park.
Parsons has instilled a theme of being the first in the Force womens squad this year as the group aims to navigate unchartered territory in the 2024 season.
The Force head coach was excited about taking on the Phoenix, who are recently Japanese champions and will present a different style for his side.
The Force will use Fridays game, along with Tuesdays follow-up clash with the Phoenix, as valuable opportunities for players to push for Round 1 selection with spots up for grabs.
