Four Northland Farah Palmer Cup reps have been named in a talent-laden Auckland Storm women's squad for the historic encounter against Waitomo Chiefs this weekend.
Also selected is Northland women's assistant coach Cheryl Smith who will help head coach Willie Walker and legendary Anna Richards, a four-time Rugby World Cup winner and member of the IRB Hall of Fame.
Krystal Murray, TK Ngata Aerengamate, Tyler Nankivell, and Stacey Tupe are the Northland players in the Blues' squad that will have several training runs this week ahead of the clash at Eden Park on Saturday.
The women's game will be the curtain raiser to the Blues v Chiefs Sky Super Rugby Aotearoa match.
