Only two teams remain in the race to become the 2024 Bunnings NPC champions as the Grand Final takes place at Sky Stadium in Wellington this Saturday afternoon.
The home side, Wellington, have been the pacesetters all season and will be many people's favourites to lift the trophy on their home turf.
While Wellington only needs to look back to 2022 for their most recent title success, Bay of Plenty must dig deeper into the archives. The Steamers won the inaugural NPC title in 1976 and haven't been able to repeat that feat since.
However, after a classy 32-20 win over Canterbury in the semifinals, Steamers fans have every reason to believe this could be the year they break the drought.
