Western Force head coach Michael Foley names six Test players in his squad to face the British and Irish Lions on Wednesday.

Western Force head coach Michael Foley has revealed that he has called in six Test players ahead of Wednesday's clash with the British and Irish Lions in Perth.

Matt Hodgson will captain a side that also contains Wallabies front-rower Salesi Ma'afu, No.8 Richard Brown, scrum-half Brett Sheehan and pivot Sam Norton-Knight, while former All Black Alby Mathewson will start on the bench.

The Force return to Super Rugby action just four days after battling the Lions, but Foley is relished his side's busy schedule.

"We've included some of our most experienced players to provide leadership against a Lions squad we have a great deal of respect for," Foley told ESPN.

"The effort in training over the past week has shown how much Wednesday's match means to this squad and they'll be determined against many of the best international players from the Northern Hemisphere."

The group boasts 510 Super Rugby caps between them.

WESTERN FORCE XV: Christie, Haylett-Petty, Stubbs, Tuatara-Morrison, Brown, Norton-Knight, Sheehan, Brown, Hodgson, Cottrell, Battye, Lynn, Ma'afu, Hilterbrand, Manu.
