Utah took top spot in the Western Conference securing the home tie against Seattle Seawolves, who finished up 4th. Both sides have decent form going into this game though, Utah are off the back of 3 straight victories. Whilst, Seattle are on the back of 4 victories in 5. The head to head between the sides is a victory each but both victories have come away from home. So maybe, thats a sign of the game we have ahead today. Utah will be looking to use a noisy and hostile home crowd to negate any Seattle hope of an upset to reach the Western Conference Final.

Utah head intot eh tie at top of the tree but with the nagging doubt of an home defeat to Seattle already this season. They have only made 2 changes for the side today. Captain Gavin Thornbury is replaced by Matt Jensen at 5. Aki Seiuli, the loose head prop becomes Captain for the game. Then Kyle Brown comes in at 13 in place of Cole Semu. A couple of tweaks on the bench too, but the consistent side remains after the back of three straight victories. Utah will look to use the home crowd and getting physical to get their passage to the West Conference final secured.
Seattle Seawolves carry a decent run of form into the game with their only defeat coming against the New England Free Jacks in the last 5 games. Seattle only make a couple of tweaks to their forward pack. Olajuwon moves to 5, Charles Eton moves across to 6, Riekert Hattingh moves back to 8 & Devin Short comes in to the side at 7. Again a couple of tweaks in the back line with Dan Kriel dropping out at 12 for Eddie Fouche, Jade Stichling swaps from 11 to 14 & Toni Pulu comes in at 11. Minor changes on the bench keep the continuity of the side that beat Miami Sharks last week.
