Force keep consistency for Sharks
The Western Force have made just one change to their matchday squad to face the Sharks in Durban on Saturday, with Dane Haylett-Petty coming onto the bench.
Haylett-Petty is set to make his return from a foot injury on Saturday, should he come off the bench.
Haylett-Petty suffered the foot injury in the Force’s Week One (25-13) win over the Waratahs.
He has now recovered and reclaim his place in the Western Australian matchday squad.
The Force will be looking to bounce back, after falling agonizingly short against the Bulls in the first week of their South African tour last weekend.
Western Force: 15 Luke Morahan, 14 Marcel Brache, 13 Kyle Godwin, 12 Luke Burton, 11 Nick Cummins, 10 Sias Ebersohn, 9 Alby Mathewson, 8 Ben McCalman, 7 Kane Koteka, 6 Steve Mafi, 5 Adam Coleman, 4 Sam Wykes (captain), 3 Tetera Faulkner, 2 Nathan Charles, 1 Pekahou Cowan.
