The most-anticipated clash of the round takes place in Hamilton on Saturday afternoon where Waikato and Canterbury meet in a re-match of last year’s final. The match takes on extra significance with Kendra Cocksedge poised to become the first woman to reach 1000 points in New Zealand domestic rugby history. She currently sits on 988 points after racking up 20 points in last weekend’s season opener against Counties Manukau.
