The longest season in Super Rugby history comes to an exciting conclusion this evening, with the Super Rugby Final between the Chiefs and Sharks guaranteed to provide a new champion.
The Chiefs and the sixth placed overall wildcard qualifier Sharks are the last two franchises standing and will offer a wonderful encounter considering their different paths to the final match of the 2012 season.
Chiefs coach Dave Rennie and Sharks coach John Plumtree have both said that history doesn’t count coming into this match, but the fifteen clashes between the two sides represent a colorful rivalry.
Further to this is the fact that Chiefs territory won’t hold too many fears for the Sharks as the South African visitors won in Taupo in 2001, and in Hamilton in 2003 and 2009.
The Super Rugby Final kicks off at 7.35pm.
