RU:'Beats defenders easily': Reds teen licensed to run

Queensland teenager Treyvon Pritchard will have the chance to make his mark at fullback, with skipper Fraser McReight excited to see the rising talent unleashed in his first Super Rugby Pacific start at No.15.

Already a target for incoming NRL side the PNG Chiefs for his exploits on the wing, the 19-year-old will switch to fullback for the Reds' final-round clash against Fijian Drua on Friday night.

Pritchard is replacing Jock Campbell, who is being rested after staking a claim to wear the Wallabies fullback jersey in a break-out season.

It shows the faith coach Les Kiss has in Pritchard, with plenty riding on the result with the sixth-placed Reds able to finish as high as fourth with a win and if the Crusaders and Brumbies slip up.
