The Navy Blues line-up features a mixture of experience and freshness with Tracey, Carey, Jordan Vale, Adam Mitchell, Alfie Rogers, Mario Ilich, Cam Howieson and Dylan Manickum in place, while Gillion, Lobo and Joe Lee are relatively new to the scene.
The match is scheduled for a 7.00pm NZDT kick-off but with Covid-19 and traffic playing its part, build in some allowance for delays.
