And just like that, it’s showtime for this year’s Sky Super Rugby Aupiki final.
The Chiefs Manawa will take on the Blues at Eden Park this Saturday and have named a strong side.
The three-time finalists first faced the Blues at Eden Park in the inaugural target="_blank">match of the competition in 2021 which kicked off a strong rivalry that has been showcased through the pool games this season.
“Both our starters and our impact will have a huge role to play this weekend, this was by far the most challenging selection, our belief in our squad, in all of our players, is massive.
“It would be great to pack out Eden Park and get some Chiefs Manawa supporters in behind us.”
The Black Ferns’ tight five will be immense at the breakdown with top try scorer Luka Connor returning to the 23.
