Venue: Go Media Stadium, Auckland
Plath will start at lock and returns having been sidelined for one week while following concussion protocols after a head clash in round 10.
Since debuting in the same fixture in round 14 last year, the young gun has proven to be a regular contributor in the Dolphins’ forward pack, averaging 36 tackles a game and scoring 2 tries in 2024.
Plath’s inclusion pushes Kenny Bromwich to the interchange bench along with Connelly Lemuelu, while Mark Nicholls is named to start at prop.
Oryn Keeley has been named 18th man following his strong performance for the Norths’ Devils in their victory in the Hostplus Cup last week.
