Form: Hawke's Bay, who are playing in the Mitre 10 Premiership for the first time have not had the most successful warm-up programme losing to Taranaki 3-19 and North Harbour 14-17. Wellington, by comparison, beat Tasman 41-12, Manawatu 33-26 and the Cantabrians 43-14.

Squad Update: Wellington will field four debut players, three of them in the tight five and five more in the substitutes. Captain and openside flanker Greg Foe will play his blazer game for the union. Ash Dixon will captain the Hawke's Bay side from hooker, while Ricci Riccitelli, who filled in so well for Hurricanes hooker Dane Coles in the Super Rugby semi-final against the Sharks will play loosehead prop. Hawke's Bay's debutants are fewer with No.8 Fa'aelimiga Selesele and blindside flanker Hugh Renton the only newcomers in the starting XV and among the reserves Marino Mikaele Tu'u, a No.8, and first five-eighths Tiaan Falcon are newcomers. Brad Weber at halfback and Ben May will also make their first appearances for the Bay, but have plenty of experience with other unions.

On a side note, interesting to hear there was a listening device found in one of the AB's hotel meeting rooms today, Can't see any reason the ARU or my beloved Aussies would do this. Likely more media or who knows.

This games going to get ugly. Manly struggling with injury & little to play for. Barrett only had 18 players to choose from this week so only had to leave 1 out. The Storm were disappointing against the Raiders & that won't happen again. I'd expect coach Bellamy has yelled & screamed during the week & the Storm will win by 20. Storm at $1.40 is easy money.
