Force sign Reds Super Rugby back Morahan Queensland Reds back Luke Morahan says a few conversations with past and present Western Force players convinced him to sign on with the Perth-based franchise on a two-year deal. Morahan, who broke through for his Test debut last year, will link up with the Force next season, bolstering the team's wing and fullback stocks. The 22-year-old has tallied 41 caps for the Reds since making his Super Rugby debut in 2009, but has struggled for opportunities this season. Despite the Force sitting last in the Australian conference, Morahan said the signs were good for future success under new coach Michael Foley. "I really like the style of rugby they've played and that they want to play," Morahan said. Foley's got them on the right track and I think it'll be a style of game that will suit me and I'm really looking forward to giving it a crack over there. I've spoken to a few guys about the Force in the past - ex-players like Nathan Sharpe and current players like Matt Hodgson, Richard Brown and Nick Cummins - and they've always spoken very highly of it. They say it's a great place and that they love it, and so it wasn't that hard a decision really. Meanwhile, Crusaders playmaker Dan Carter will miss Saturday night's clash with the Force in Perth due to a hamstring injury. Carter skipped the Crusaders' recent two-match tour of South Africa to witness the birth of his first child. The 30-year-old was on track to return against the Force, but had to shelve those plans after his training mishap on Tuesday. Carter's injury means Tyler Bleyendaal will retain the No.10 jersey, despite his poor goalkicking form in last week's 21-17 loss to the Sharks in Durban. The Force will also enter the match missing a key player, with in-form lock Hugh McMeniman ruled out for at least six weeks after suffering a fracture to his left shoulder. The Crusaders are eighth on the ladder with a 3-3 record, while the Force have just one win to their name.
