Super Rugby Pacific trials continue as the start of the regular season rapidly approaches.
For some teams, this week's clash is the last chance to impress before the start of the Super Rugby season on February 23.
It will begin on Saturday with the Western Force hosting the ACT Brumbies in what's expected to be a boiler in Claremont.
This will be followed by rivals Queensland Reds and NSW Waratahs taking part in their annual trial in Roma.

Carlo Tizzano joins Michael Wells and Will Harris in the back row.
