Bay of Plenty Steamers head coach Clayton McMillan has named an unchanged starting 15 to take on Hawke's Bay at Rotorua International Stadium tomorrow.
The Steamers bench has had a reshuffle, seeing five changes in a bid to claim the Macrae-Shelford Bay Cup.
Whakarewarewa's James Lay in the number 18
jersey and Mount Maunganui Sports' Liam Steel, in number 22, will be hoping to earn their first cap off the bench.
Joining Lay and Steel will be Sabastian Siataga who remains as the reserve hooker, loose head prop Solomona Sakalia and centurion Culum Retallick. Jesse Parete replaces Henry Stowers to complete the forwards on the reserve bench.
Halfback Luke Campbell and utility back Elijah Nicholas retain their spot in the 23 and will be looking to make an impact off the bench.
