A change in scenery for Canterbury as they look to get back in the winners circle in rugby's NPC

They welcome Taranaki to the Rangiora Showgrounds this afternoon - the first time the venue has held an NPC match.

Canterbury veteran Luke Romano is hopeful a foray into the country is the first of many.



Kickoff is at 2.05 - with live commentary on Gold Sport and iHeartRadio.

Bay of Plenty host Otago in Rotorua at the same time - which is also kickoff for the Farah Palmer Cup premiership semifinal between Waikato and Auckland in Hamilton.
