Northland B will be bolstered by four players from the Mitre 10 Cup for their clash against North Harbour B tonight.
Prop Chris Apoua, lock Epineri Uluiviti, loose forward Aorangi Stokes, and lock Josh Larson will play for the Northland B team for the first time this year.
Jaz Apouawill again captain the side.
Coach Peter Nock is happy to have the experience of the Mitre 10 Cup players available to him.
"It's great we have these players coming down from the Mitre 10 squad to play for us for our last game. We really want to put in a good performance at Toll Stadium at home," he said.
"It means a lot to us playing on Toll Stadium in front of family and friends."
"We could only train once this week as we had a game against Auckland Colts on Sunday, losing 27-25 in the last play. All the boys fronted on Tuesday before we all met up for dinner together afterwards."
"We have great spirit within this side and the boys work really hard for each other."
