Clinton Schifcofske at Reds training
After switching codes at the end of the NRL season, former Canberra Raiders star Clinton Schifcofske will play his second game of union at the weekend for the World XV.
Now with the Queensland Reds, Schifcofske will line-up at full-back against South Africa in a celebration game to be held in Leicester, England.
Reds and former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones has said that the friendly match will be good experience for the union convert.
"You know he'll find the game difficult," Jones told ABC Sport.
"I imagine South Africa, particularly after their recent tour, will be very keen to do well in the game."
"He'll get a few high balls and a few big South African forwards running at him so it will be good practice."
Schifcofske has been training with the Reds for just over a month now and was a surprise call-up to the rest-of-the-world team. He has only played once before, when the Reds met Tokyo in Japan in early November.
He will join former England captain Lawrence Dallaglio and All Black Justin Marshall on the World XV team.
