The Force will be determined to turn the momentum gained last week in their performance against the NSW Waratahs into a first win of the season.

Sera Ah-Sam moves into the starting side named at tighthead prop. Round 2 try-scorer Raewyn Tuheke switches to loosehead prop, with Grace Gayton selected on the bench.

After making her debut last weekend, flanker Keira MacAskill (6) retains her starting spot alongside Anneka Stephens (7). Fellow Round 2 debutants Mercedes Putz and ValueseTiakia remain in the match day 23 for this week’s match-up.

Forward Tessah Roache is poised to make her first appearance of the season, with back rower Tui Cope returning to the squad.

With plenty of positives taken from the first two rounds, it’s set to be an intriguing contest at Leichhardt Oval, as the Force takes on Drua for the first time in the Super Rugby Pacific competition.
