Hello and welcome to Yarrow Stadium for a very important clash between Taranaki and Wellington. Both teams have something to play for. Its pretty simple really, Wellington are playing for a playoff spot while Taranaki are trying to avoid relegation. Taranaki have had a real tough season, just not finding that attacking brand of rugby that we have been used to. Tonight Tamanivalu plays his last game for Taranaki, so he will be well motivated. Wellington ave looked impressive for most of the competition, however they have lost their last two matches and will be desperate to turn it around or potentially miss out on a playoff spot
