Veteran Wellington and Canes players Victor Vito and Cory Jane will sign off their New Zealand rugby careers and fans in the capital are
expected to make the All Black pair a focal point of celebrations.
Vito's 100th and final game for the Canes turned into a fairy tale when the hosts downed South Africa's Lions side in Saturday night's final played in icy conditions at Westpac Stadium. He will soon head to France with his family to play for the La Rochelle club.
Jane is heading to Japan after a stellar All Blacks and Hurricanes career and also signed off in fine style by scoring the opening try in his side's triumph.
