Western Force will be looking to build on their impressive season as they enter the playoffs. They dropped a 22-47 decision against the Reds before this game. Prior to this, they had won two in a row. Both the Waratahs (3-24) and the Brumbies (46-35) were defeated in these matches. In their last two round-robin meetings, the Force will take on Palmyra Rugby Club at Tompkins Park. After a thrilling away victory against the Waratahs on bonus points, the Force have taken over first place in the Super Rugby AUS standings. With the tournament off to a perfect start, first-ever Super Rugby AUS Player of the Week Max Burey plans to capitalize. The Waratahs' strong scrum base kept the Force from scoring more goals, so their performance was far from flawless. Burey thinks his squad will be more equipped to face the potent Brumbies set piece this Saturday after spending so much time in the legs.
