While the Bay of Plenty Steamers narrowly missed the Championship final last Friday night, three of Bay of Plenty's national squad referees will feature in both Mitre 10 Cup finals matches this weekend.
Tonight Nick Briant will take control of the Championship final between Otago and North Harbour at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin, kick off at 7.35pm.
Jamie Nutbrown and Kane McBride, both from Canterbury, will be on the touchlines while in the TMO seat is fellow Bay of Plenty referee Shane McDermott.
Canterbury will host Tasman in the Premiership final at AMI Stadium on Saturday night. Glen Jackson will be the man in the middle, with Brendon Pickerill (North Harbour) and Angus Mabey (Auckland) on the touch lines and Aaron Paterson (Waikato) will be the TMO. Kick off is 7.35pm. Both games will be live on Sky Sports 1.
Nick Briant says he is proud to represent the Bay of Plenty refs in the Mitre 10 Cup Championship final.
