Force head coach Tim Sampson has named an almost unchanged team to take on the Crusaders this Saturday at HBF Park.

Following a strong showing against the ladder-leading Blues, there are only two changes to the starting XV.

Backrower Tim Anstee will start in the number 8 jersey, with Wanneroo talent Ollie Callan moving to the right flank.

Reigning Nathan Sharpe medallist Kane Koteka remains unavailable for selection after sustaining a season-ending foot injury. Winger Byron Ralston replaces Toni Pulu who is recovering from a hamstring complaint.

Having injured his hamstring during pre-season, Angus Wagner is set to make his first appearance of the season after being named in the matchday 23 at 17. Fly-half Jake McIntyre has also been added to the reserves.
