Final: Canterbury vs Wellington

[Winger]

Well doen to Asafo on his call-up. And credit to the NZRU for this below. It would have been so bad if they had withdrawn Aumua

Hope Asafo (and TJ who missed out to Weber) are not in any way distracted by it all.

Aumua will contest Saturday's NPC final between Wellington and Canterbury, before joining the tour group as cover for veteran hooker Dane Coles, who continues to nurse a long-term calf injury.

Anybody else waiting for oh and I’m late news Steve Walsh is the new ref and in other breaking news Mo’ounga, Taylor and Whitelock have been released to play for Canterbury….I’m very nervous about this been more heartbroken then someone on Tinder with Wellington in finals.

Pek Cowan gone in the warm-ups. The one guy that we really need against Canterbury’s scrum. Bugger.

[Winger]

Cowan is not starting. Bugger. It's a big loss

Hopefully PJ Sheck can step up again.

It's official. Match predictor has Wellington as the favourite. Their's to lose.
