Bay of Plenty will get a rare opportunity to watch the storm pass earlier than usual in the NPC

They'll host Counties Manukau in Rotorua this evening as part of their 'storm' week - where teams play three games in a two-week span.

The Steamers have had their storm week over the final two rounds since 2021.

Coach Richard Watt says it'll be nice to get it out of the way early.



Kickoff is at five past seven - live commentary on Gold Sport and iHeartradio.
