"A lot of people will be out at clients, but people who're in the office will probably go and watch it, or just stream it on their iSky or something."
However, she was undecided about whether she would try to pop in herself, as "I think the score's a little bit predictable".
Nigel Brunel, from financial brokers OMF, was just grabbing some lunch near the Britomart in central Auckland before going back to the office to watch the game.
"We've got TVs in the office, so we're going to flick them on and let the boys and girls watch it," he said.
But staff wouldn't be allowed to "entirely down tools", he said. "Maybe down half their tools", he laughed.
"But it's a good game to watch, it's the first time they're there, so yea, it's always good to watch the boys, so we'll be watching."
The televisions in the office were usually tuned into a financial channel, he said, but they would be switched to Sky Sports this afternoon.
"They [staff] should be happy with that - as long as we win.
"It'll be good if it's a close game. I think the Samoans will go hard for the first 25 [minutes], but they'll just run out of puff by the end of the game."
His prediction - "All Blacks by 20".
But Samoan fans Delanie Tauvalaau and Sui Amituanai, casual staff at Westpac, were confident Manu Samoa would win.
The match would be on in their Britomart office, they said.
"I think we're just going to watch it when we're on break, watch it when we can," Ms Tauvalaau said.
But they would be trying to watch "as much as we can", Ms Amituanai said.
Others though, were resigned to the fact they would have to wait until they got home.
On Shortland St, Gareth Lowndes, who works in marketing, had his TV set to record the game, because he knew he would miss it at the office.
"It's not an ideal time. It's taken this long for them to go you'd think they could put it on at a better time," he said.
"I'm recording it, so I'll watch it tonight, but I don't have time during the day to watch it."
His boss would be "open to watching it", Mr Lowndes said.
"We watched the football World Cup, so if we've got Sky it'll probably be on, but I won't be in the office to see it anyway."
The radio would be turned off and social media completely avoided until he could watch it, he said.
"I don't want to be disappointed."
Others were a little oblivious the big game was even taking place.
American Robert Moritz, who works in advertising and moved to New Zealand seven months ago, didn't even know what time the match started.
However, he said he was "interested in getting interested" in rugby, "but I'm still figuring out the rules".
He added: "It seems as if it would be fun to go down to a pub to see."
