VIDEO: Super Rugby final teaser
The Highlanders and the Hurricanes are set to battle it out in the Super Rugby final tomorrow morning.
The all New Zealand final is almost too close to call but the Hurricanes will definitely go into the clash as favourites. They have home ground advantage for one, and have only lost twice during the competition.
Looking ahead to tomorrow's final, the Hurricanes have named a full strenght side. However flank Ardie Savea has been bracketed with Callum Gibbins. Savea is struggling with a niggle in his knee and has been given to the eleventh hour to prove his fitness.
Meanwhile the Highlanders named a completely unchanged side - opting for continuity with the starting XV that beat the Waratahs last weekend.
Both teams have played similar, expansive game plans which has seen some spectacular tries scored. Check out the tries from the semi-finals last weekend.
Kick-off is at 09h35 tomorrow morning.
Hurricanes team (15-1): James Marshall, Nehe Milner-Skudder, Conrad Smith (C), Ma'a Nonu, Julian Savea, Beauden Barrett, TJ Perenara, Victor Vito, Ardie Savea, Brad Shields, James Broadhurst, Jeremy Thrush, Ben Franks, Dane Coles, Reg Goodes.
