It will be a battle of the North and the South Island in an all-New Zealand Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific final this weekend as table-toppers the Chiefs host defending champions the Crusaders in Waikato.

The Chiefs, after surviving a hard-fought 19-6 win against the Brumbies last Saturday, will try and break a 10-year drought and win their first title since 2013.

On the other hand, the Crusaders showed why they are the defending champions and one of the most dominant sides in Super Rugby when they thrashed the Blues 52-15 last Friday, and they will want to defend their title again this year.

After the naming of the All Blacks squad last night for the upcoming Rugby Championship, both teams will be expected to field 21 All Blacks players altogether for the grand final.

The Super Rugby Pacific grand final will be at the FMG Stadium in Waikato at 7.05pm Saturday.
