Get to Rotorua on Saturday for the game of the round, a top of the table clash between the mighty Bay of Plenty Steamers and the Wellington Lions. Welington don't think they will need their All Blacks to beat us - let's prove them wrong. The expected side has been named for the Bay with only one change to the starting XV, Phil Burliegh replacing the injured Ben Smith and Aporo and Hunt moving out a spot, Hunt moving to the right wing.
