There is plenty on the line when the Rabbitohs host the Warriors on Saturday evening with Souths looking to secure a home final in the opening week of the playoffs while the Warriors are pressing for the minor premiership.

New Zealand have been in rare form but face a major challenge this week with two of their spine sidelined with Luke Metcalf injured – again – and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstaad suspended. That sees Taine Tuapiki recalled at fullback while Luke Hanson gets an opportunity at six. That lack of continuity will give Souths plenty of hope, particularly with star Latrell Mitchell named on the extended bench for the Bunnies.

The venue is key to this one with Souths having covered a remarkable 10 straight at Accor. They are 18-3 against the number in their last 21 at the venue while they are 14-6 at the venue when an underdog.

The Warriors have won just three of the last 17 against Souths and seem huge unders in this one.

The weak point of the Warriors stout defensive line has undoubtedly been right centre Ali Leiatutua, whose decisioon-making under fatigue has been incredibly poor. That sets up nicely for veteran five-eighth Cody Walker, who has made a career out of taking advantage of indecisive right-edge defenders. Walker has 107 tries – an incredible return for a half – and loves playing the Warriors with nine tries in 12 games.
