Reds rest Smith, Simmons

Beunos Aires - Reds head coach Nick Stiles has chosen to rest George Smith and Rob Simmons for Saturday's clash with the Jaguares at Vélez Sarsfield.

Already without suspended flyhalf Quade Cooper and injured loosehead prop James Slipper, Stiles has opted to rotate his side this weekend.

Adam Korczyk is on the openside flank while young lock Izack Rodda takes over from Simmons, with Leroy Houston named on the blindside.

Jake McIntyre is at flyhalf while hooker Stephen Moore returns to captain the side. Moore starts alongside Markus Vanzati and Sam Talakai.
