Fijian trio Save Tokula, Henry Speight and Dominiko Waqaniburotu have been named in the Waikato team to face Canterbury in the final of New Zealand's provincial rugby on Saturday.

All of the 3 players played in last week's semifinal win against Auckland and have been given the nod from coach Chris Gibbes to again play this weekend.

It will also be the last time Speight will don the Waikato jumper as he moves across the Tasman to join the Brumbies in the Super 15 next season.

Waikato stunned Canterbury 26 6 in Hamilton two weeks ago although winning in Christchurch is a much tougher assignment.

Christchurch has not been a happy hunting ground for Waikato   having won there only in 1999, 1997, 1993 and 1958.

The Canterbury and Waikato final kicks-off on Saturday at 7.35pm.
