Having come so close to victory last week, the Western Force will be looking to go one better when they host the Highlanders at HBF Stadium. Don’t miss a moment from Perth with live scores on The Roar from 7:45pm (AEST).
The Force came agonisingly close to being the only Australian side to take points off a New Zealand team in the opening Super Rugby Trans-Tasman round. However, a penalty miss from Domingo Miotti with the last kick of the game saw them fall short by a solitary point.
The Highlanders were hugely impressive at home over the Super Rugby AU champions, the Reds, last week. However, the Queenslanders were banged-up and fielding a second-string outfit following their brutal final win the week before. Playing a fired-up Force on their home turf promises to be an even greater challenge as the men from Dunedin look to recover from a disappointing Super Rugby AU campaign.
