The Western Force host the Cheetahs from nib Stadium in Perth. Be sure to join us here on The Roar for all the action from 9:45pm (AEST).

Neither side has had a memorable season, with just three wins between them.

Both sides come into this match after an extended run of losses.

Fresh off they bye, the Force will be looking to resurrect their season at home.

Their forward pack has proved adept at winning and retaining possession, but has been unable to convert that dominance into points.

The Cheetahs are on the last leg of an Australasian tour.

They have struggled at the breakdown and will want to put in a much improved effort here to salvage something before returning to South Africa.

The Force need to be accurate in their execution and minimise errors as the Cheetahs feed off mistakes with Willie le Roux and Cornal Hendricks lurking in the background.

One player to keep an eye on for the Force tonight is Adam Coleman.

Many are suggesting the rugged lock should be considered for higher honours with his aggressive play and high work rate.

He could prove a real difference for the Force this evening.

For the Cheetahs, Heinrich Brussow needs to be at his pesky best for the sake of their talented and exciting backline.

Tip
Force.
