Wellington is buzzing as Hnry Stadium prepares for a sold-out showdown between the Warriors and the Dolphins.
The Dolphins come into the match after a closely contested game against the Panthers, losing 23-22 in Darwin due to a Nathan Cleary field goal in extra time.
Inspired by their previous victory against the Warriors in New Zealand last year, they look to replicate that upset despite facing injury challenges.
Meanwhile, the Warriors are riding high in the standings after a solid performance against the unpredictable Titans last week.
They built an impressive 22-0 lead before ultimately securing a 28-20 victory, showcasing their resilience.
Coach Andrew Webster will emphasize the importance of learning from their late-game struggles, especially against a team capable of scoring easily.
