The Aces will say goodbye to Lou Vincent and welcome back Andre Adams for their final round HRV Cup game against the Canterbury Wizards at Colin Maiden Park tomorrow.
Adams sat out the impressive last round victory over the Otago Volts with an illness but is now back to full fitness and will slot back into the squad of 13 which is otherwise unchanged for a game that could see both sides fairly cagey before the final on Sunday.
Both teams have confirmed their place in the final but motivation for the Aces will not be lacking says coach Paul Strang.
"When you're on a roll like we are at the moment you just want to keep it going because that winning habit is a very useful thing to take into a final. It will also give us a really good chance to have another look at the Wizards before Sunday and do a bit of information gathering."
The thirteen from which an eleven will be chosen is as follows:
Gareth Hopkins (c)
Andre Adams
Michael Bates
Brad Cachopa
Colin de Grandhomme
Martin Guptill
Ronnie Hira
Anaru Kitchen
Azhar Mahmood
Bruce Martin
Chris Martin
Kyle Mills
Colin Munro
