The quarter-final will give Perenara at least one more home game at Sky Stadium before heading to Japan at the conclusion of the All Blacks end of year tour.

Three other All Blacks, Ruben Love, Asafo Aumua and Billy Proctor will join Perenara for the top-seeded Lions do-or-die clash.

Perenara will go head-to-head with Hurricanes teammate Cam Roigard, who was named to return in the All Blacks squad this week, for an intriguing battle of the No 9s.

In the Hawke’s Bay versus Bay of Plenty quarter-final, only one All Black will feature in Pasilio Tosi.

Taranaki versus Waikato will see Stephen Perofeta, Luke Jacobson, and Samipeni Finau line up in New Plymouth.

In Sunday’s battle between the two Crusaders’ feeder provinces, five All Blacks will feature for Tasman and Canterbury.

Good to see that there's 14 available All Blacks playing for their respective provinces this weekend.


For mine its Wellington vs Counties on friday with the Lions having home advantage a major plus for their cause and with that in mind, should steal it..or not.


Looking forward to watching some excellent rugby from other parts of the country and I'm certain that every fringe player will see for themselves what it takes to earn selection for an All Blacks jersey and give them some extra motivation.

What a blockbuster list of finals.


1 v 8 playing for the rematch of Jonah Tali Lomu's trophy (hope the kids get to go to this one too) where 8 smashed the top seed just 2 weeks ago.


Battle for the Bay.


Chiefs derby between Taranaki and Waikato.


Crusaders derby between Canterbury and the Mako.


You could wish for a better weekend of games.

The biggest game of the year in New Zealand is BOP vs Hawkes Bay State to decide who is the real Bay.

I am assuming Sam Cane is badly injured and that’s why he isn’t suiting up.

He clocked up a lot of minutes in TRC. From those 14 players, only TJ is anywhere near Sam Cane's involvement and we all understand why he is let to play for the Lions.

TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY IS A GENUINE CRYPTO RECOVERY COMPANY


It was a cold morning when I first realized the full extent of my loss. I had invested 150,000 euros into an online crypto platform, believing in their promises and the allure of quick financial success. But as the days passed, I discovered it was all a scam. My money was gone, and with it, my dreams of financial security.

The feeling of helplessness and devastation was overwhelming. I tried everything to recover my funds contacting authorities, searching for solutions online, and connecting with others who had been through similar scams—but nothing seemed to work. I felt completely lost, as though there was no way back.One Sunday, feeling utterly defeated, I decided to visit Grace Church in Dublin, Ireland. I was searching for some peace and comfort. During the service, I shared my story with the congregation, explaining how I had been scammed and lost everything. I didn’t expect much—just a chance to speak to someone.

Afterward, a fellow parishioner came up to me. He had been listening closely, and after hearing my situation, he shared that he had once been in a similar place.

He had fallen victim to a scam too, and like me, thought his money was gone for good. But someone had recommended a service called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY to him. He decided to reach out to them, and with their help, he had managed to recover his lost funds.

He suggested I contact them, believing they could help me too.

Though I was skeptical, I was also desperate, so I wrote down their contact information. That evening, I called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY. From the moment we spoke, I felt a sense of professionalism and empathy that I hadn’t encountered before. They didn’t treat me like just another case. They listened to my story, took my concerns seriously, and reassured me that they would do everything they could to help.The recovery process was detailed and transparent. They kept me updated regularly, explaining each step they were taking. Weeks passed, and though I was anxious, I held onto hope. Then, out of nowhere, I received the incredible news: TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY had successfully recovered 95% of my 150,000 euros. It felt like a miracle. I couldn’t believe it. Thanks to the team at TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was able to regain my financial footing and rebuild emotionally. I’m now more cautious than ever, but I’m also deeply grateful.

Without the kind recommendation from that parishioner at Grace Church, I would never have found the help I so desperately needed.

Today, I’m on the path to full recovery, and I can confidently say that TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY gave me a second chance.

Their dedication and expertise truly made all the difference in my life.
