warriors.kiwi are gearing up for a HMC Team List that promises a showdown fit for a grand final rematch.
A clash of the titans awaits the NZ Warriors in this weekend's sixth round of the Harold Matthews Cup (under-17) competition.
They're hitting the road after holding court on their home turf for two consecutive games, ready to take on the Western Suburbs Magpies at Kirkham Oval in Camden on Sunday (10.00am kick-off local time; 12.00pm NZT).
When these two powerhouses last collided in the premiership decider, the Warriors rose to the occasion, triumphing over the Magpies with a score of 34-16 to seize the premiership crown on their inaugural outing.
With three victories and a single defeat under their belts this season, the Warriors are riding high on the wave of last Sunday's hard-fought 20-8 triumph over the bottom-seated Melbourne squad.
This victory has propelled them back up to sixth place on the ladder, ready to tackle whatever challenges lie ahead.
