The New Zealand Warriors will play at Eden Park for the first time this season after the NRL confirmed they will host their Week Two finals fixture at the iconic Auckland venue.
The Warriors will face the Newcastle Knights on Sunday at 6 pm AEST, after Newcastle defeated the South Sydney Rabbitohs 20-10 on Friday night.

Eden Park, New Zealand's national stadium, has previously hosted several major events, but Sunday's clash will be the first time the Warriors have played there this season.
The move to Eden Park had been flagged as the likely option given the venue's significantly greater capacity, with the national stadium able to accommodate around 50,000 fans compared to approximately 25,000 at Go Media Stadium.
The Warriors played their Week One finals fixture at Go Media Stadium on Saturday night, suffering a 26-16 defeat to the Dolphins.
That result means the Warriors now face a sudden-death clash against the Knights, with their premiership hopes on the line in Week Two.
