Kia ora and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the Super Rugby Trans-Tasman clash between the Hurricanes and Queensland Reds at Wellington's Sky Stadium.
The Hurricanes come into their final round clash looking to bounce back from their 12-10 defeat to ACT Brumbies in Canberra.
The defeat leaves the Wellington side on 16 competition points, three behind the Blues atop the table, and two behind the Highlanders and Crusaders.
They'll need to defeat the Reds and hope two of the teams above them lose, if they are to claim a spot in next week's final.
Ngani Laumape will have a chance to farewell the Hurricanes faithful, with the blockbusting midfielder to start in the No.12 jersey for his 84th and final game for the yellow-and-blacks, before heading to France to join Top 14 side Stade Francais on a three-year deal.
The Reds started the competition with back-to-back loses, before claiming the first Australian win of the trans-Tasman competition against the Chiefs.
The Super Rugby AU champions sit as the second-placed Aussi team in the competition, only behind the Brumbies on points differential. A win over the Hurricanes would be enough to claim top spot, if the Brumbies are toppled by the Highlanders.
The Hurricanes hold the wood over the Reds, winning 16 of the 22 match-ups, with the Queensland side winning just twice in the capital.
The Reds are yet to taste victory at the 'Cake Tin', with their two wins coming back in 1996 and 1998 at Athletic Park.
The Hurricanes have won 25 of their last 26 Super Rugby home games against teams from outside New Zealand, with their only defeat in that span coming against the Jaguares in Round 14, 2019.

'I haven't decided': Ardie Savea coy over future with NZ Rugby
All Blacks star Ardie Savea is not thinking about his next move, as his NZ Rugby contract nears its end after the 2021 season.
Savea, 27, is a free agent after the current season, yet to put pen to paper on a new deal with NZR and the Hurricanes.
The loose forward has emerged as one of the standout players in Super Rugby over the last few years and favoured to fill the All Blacks No.7 jersey in place of injured captain Sam Cane this year.
But Savea has made it clear that he isn't thinking about his future and is instead concentrating on finishing the Super Rugby Trans-Tasman round robin stage on a high for the Hurricanes.
Savea says his priority is returning to full fitness from a knee injury, after missing the end of Super Rugby Aotearoa.
"I still haven't decided what I'm doing just yet," Savea says. "[I've] just been focussing on getting my injury right.
"That was my main focus the last couple of weeks.
"I haven't really thought about it actually at the moment, but [I] should do. Being a leader of this team, you just want to stay in the moment, stay present, and I think for me my mindset has just been to get the boys ready for this week and I haven't really thought too far ahead.
"Probably after this week or next, I will start to think about that stuff."
Savea could command a huge contract playing overseas in either Europe or Japan, or could become a marquee player for the newly formed Moana Pasifika side for their 2022 entry into Super Rugby.
Savea isn't the only off-contract All Black at the Hurricanes, with Jordie Barrett's deal with the Wellington side also up at the end of 2021.
TJ Perenara re-signed with the club in May, while Ngani Laumape has signed for French side Stade Francais.
