Waikato to stage NPC final in Hamilton with move to alert level two

With the government announcing parts of the Waikato region will move down to alert level 2 from midnight Tuesday, New Zealand Rugby have confirmed Hamilton will host the decider (7.05pm kickoff).

The Waikato team relocated to Bay of Plenty earlier in the season due to Covid-19 restrictions in the Waikato region and will return to Hamilton ahead of the final.
