In the Premiership semi, Waikato and Wellington will battle it out for a spot in the final to take on four-time defending champions Canterbury in Christchurch. The last time these two sides played, the match went to golden-point, so we’re expecting another exciting clash.
Manawatū and Canterbury will play a non-competition match on Saturday in preparation for next weekend’s finals.
