Next SRP Finals Match

While the Blues secured a comfortable 14-point victory in their regular-season meeting, the final promises to be a different beast altogether. So, both sides are looking to capture their first championship in over a decade.

The Blues are hoping to win their first championship since 2003.

The Chiefs are in the final for the second straight year, but they haven’t won the championship since 2013.

The Blues are seeking their first championship since 2003, with them having made their last appearance in 2022.

When the two teams met during the season, The Blues picked up a 14-point victory.

With all that’s on the line, this match should be much closer.

Who’s Favored?

Thanks in part to their previous victory over the Chiefs, Auckland is -215 on the moneyline to win this game.

The Chiefs are +160. The Blues are 5.5-point favorites.

Auckland finished the season with a 12-2 record, while Waito was 9-5.

Blues Get Good Injury News

Patrick Tuipulotu will give the Blues a much-needed lift before the final.

Tuipulotu will be returning from a knee injury.

This is a solid setup for Auckland, which is hosting the final.

The Blues have won 15 consecutive matches at Eden Park.

However, home field advantage isn’t always the great equalizer.

The Chiefs lost in the final last year at home.

The Blues have decided not to make many changes from the lineup they had in the semifinal last week.

Bryce Heem has also recovered from a calf injury to return to the bench.

With Tuipulotu’s return, Josh Behre will head to the bench.

Behre will take over James Thopmson’s spot.

Chiefs Make Surprising Change

The Chiefs aren’t leaving any stone uncovered as they compete in the final for the second straight year.

The Chiefs will choose third choice hooker Tyrone Thompson to start this weekend.

Waito is hoping that Thompson can provide a lift after a tough injury suffered last week.

The Chiefs lost hooker Samisoni Taukei’aho to an injury last week.

He was injured while making a tackle and threw a wet blanket over the semifinal win.

Bradley Slater will replace Taukei’aho in the lineup.

Slater initially suffered a knee injury last week too, but the doctors determined he should be good to go for the final.

Shaun Stevenson will help support Thompson on the run-on side when he plays fullback.

What to Expect

The Blues have looked like one of the best teams in the league all season.

They won comfortably last week and seem to have the upper hand against the Chiefs, who are nursing injuries at several important positions.

Auckland will cover the spread in this one.

While the Blues may not win by the same 14-point margin they won by the first time around, this could be a game where Auckland breezes to a victory.
