Bay of Plenty Volcanix will have it all to do if they are to open their account in the Farah Palmer Cup.
An opening week loss to North Harbour and a 31-0 reversal against Canterbury last weekend leaves the Volcanix at the bottom of the table.
Tomorrow's opponents Auckland, however, have won two from two.
The Volcanix will take heart from the fact that they are at home in Whakatane and that the Aucklanders have been pushed hard in both of those games, against Wellington and Manawatu.
Head coach Brendon Webby has named a side that sees Ereti Williams starting ahead of Lilly Florence at hooker and Kate Henwood moving into lock. The back line will see Nicole Cawthorn move back into the midfield, making way for Mystery Mclean-Kora to return to the right wing.
