“Both sets of supporters have gotten behind their teams which will create a fantastic atmosphere inside ANZ Stadium.

“As a result there is incredible interest in the contest. There will be extraordinary colour and passion on the day and with our entertainment we will keep people of all ages entertained throughout the afternoon and evening.”
