Playing at home in round four should see the Stallions step up and make amends for last week's defeat to the Knights.

Victory would take them closer to home ground advantage in the semi finals.

Notable changes this week are Flying Fijians flanker Aca Ratuva making his start as Tiko Matawalu returns from injury at tight head but the hungry Sharks will be no pushovers.

Against the stallions Coach Ifeimi Tawake has kept the faith and retained the run on team that handed Crusaders a 37-25 thumping last Friday.

The Stallions Crusaders match kicks off at 3pm at Lawaqa Park and the Crusaders/Bligh Roosters match will be held at the same time at Churchill Park in Lautoka.

In last night's match: the Highlanders edged the Knights by 11-9 Ratu Cakobau park last night and are now top of the points table.
