It's 100-up for Latham

Chris Latham will win his 100th cap for the Reds in their Super 12 Round 10 match against the Cats at Ballymore in Brisbane on Friday.

Chris Latham: 100 up

Latham will become the 21st Red to play a century of games for Queensland, following in the footsteps of the likes of Andrew Slack, Daniel Herbert, Tim Horan, Tony Shaw, John Eales and Toutai Kefu.

"It's a huge honour and one I must admit to have been thinking about for some time now," said Latham, who made his Reds debut back in 1998.

"Playing for Queensland means the world to me and I am very excited about the game and very aware of the great names that have gone before me in the past. It will be a special night and I plan to make the most of it. It will be a real buzz leading the team out and I'm so pleased the game is at my favourite ground, Ballymore," said Latham.

Reds coach Jeff Miller has made one change to the side that defeated the Sharks, with fit-again lock Hugh McMeniman replacing Rudi Vedelago who drops down to the bench.

Reds: 15 Chris Latham, 14 Wendell Sailor, 13 Ben Tune, 12 Junior Pelesasa, 11 Drew Mitchell, 10 Elton Flatley, 9 Nic Berry, 8 John Roe (captain), 7 David Croft, 6 Daniel Heenan, 5 Nathan Sharpe, 4 Hugh McMeniman, 3 Rodney Blake, 2 Sean Hardman, 1 Nick Stiles.
Replacements: 16 Stephen Moore, 17 Greg Holmes, 18 Rudi Vedelago, 19 Tom McVerry, 20 Brett Sheehan, 21 Julian Huxley, 22 Lloyd Johansson.
