Wallaby Tate McDermott will get his first taste of top-flight rugby since September, as he re-ignites his hopes of reclaiming the Australian halfback jersey.
The Queensland Reds announced the 50-cap Wallaby would return to the Super Rugby Pacific side for Saturday's crunch clash against Moana Pasifika after sustaining a hamstring injury against New Zealand last year.
With the sixth-placed Reds at risk of tumbling out of finals contention, sitting just two points clear of the NSW Waratahs, the addition of McDermott will come as a welcome boost.
