The North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos will head into Saturday's massive semi-final with an unchanged line-up, following last week's gritty win over Geelong to stay alive in the finals series.

Standing in their way, however, is a Richmond side that will be eager to amend its 17-point qualifying final defeat to Brisbane.

Last week saw the Roos stand tall amid the pressure and tension that comes with finals football, and the same 21 players have been backed in again to get the job done.
