- Team Wellington has the most scored goals (23) in Premiership
- Eastern Suburbs has the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Premiership
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Eastern Suburbs have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 9-3-8 (win-draw-loss) from 20 matches.
