The Stormers travel to Perth to face the Western Force in Super Rugby Round 10.
Join The Roar from 9:45pm (AEST) for live scores and updates.
The Stormers pack will be aiming to dish out set-piece pain on the men from Western Australia.
The South Africans hava a scrum completion rate of 92 per cent, compared to the Force’s 77 per cent.
Key to this is the heavyweight battle between Eben Etzebeth and up-and-comer Adam Coleman, who both tip the scales in excess of 120 kilograms.
Like Coleman, backrower Steve Mafi is powerful in the loose as well as in set piece.
Along with Wallaby incumbent and openside flanker Chris Alcock, he will play an abrasive defensive approach.
Referee Mike Fraser may have busy night with the whistle, with two of the competition’s most penalised players, Vincent Koch and Ben McCalman, will feature in this match.
They are both tied second with 13 penalties each.
The halves battle comprises two South Africans (one playing for the Force), one New Zealander, and one ‘Greek’ in Demetri Catrakilis.
All are cunning playmakers who will use all their faculties and skill to unleash their team’s attacking capability.
The Force will continue the Luke Burton/Kyle Godwin centre partnership, while the Force back three of Nick Cummins, Luke Morahan and Dane Haylett-Petty will be wary of their opposite trio’s deadly skills in counter attack.
Join The Roar for all the action from 9:45pm (AEST).
