The Central Pulse are enjoying having the shoe on the other foot ahead of this weekend's ANZ Premiership final

The top-seeded Pulse have progressed straight through to the final, after
having to play in last season's preliminary final, before losing to the
Southern Steel in the decider.

However this season the Steel have to play the elimination final at home
against the Mainland Tactix, with the winner to face the Pulse in Palmerston
North on Sunday.

Pulse coach Yvette McCausland-Durie says this week will come down to smart
management.

She says they need to make sure they aren't getting to Sunday too early but
are ready by the time it comes around.
