Teenage prop Shambeckler Vui has been rushed to New Zealand for Western Force's Saturday night Super Rugby clash with the Blues.
Force front row stocks took a hit against the Crusaders last Friday night with Jermaine Ainsley facing at least 10 weeks on the sidelines after dislocating his left elbow and suffering ligament damage when a scrum collapsed.
Force coach Dave Wessels has begun scouring Australia and overseas for a possible injury replacement but has already called in Vui, a 19-year-old Force academy product.
Wessels has also spoken to veteran looshead prop Pek Cowan about moving to the other side of the scrum.
Cowan covered as a reserve tighthead for the Wallabies seven years ago.
Wessels described Vui as a rare talent.
