The Western Force hosts the Crusaders in round 7 of Super Rugby.
The Force has just one win so far, a 22-6 victory over the Reds in round 2. They are coming off an improved 32-20 defeat to the defending champion Highlanders a week ago. The Force has upset the Crusaders in the past and will look to turn their season around by doing so again.
The Crusades are in fine form and have not tasted defeat since the opening round. They concluded a successful tour to South Africa with an entertaining 43-37 win over the Lions. They will look to continue their winning momentum with a victory over the Force.
