After an extended break, the best four sides of the 2021 Premier Rugby season will be given two weeks to prove why they should be crowned champions of another strange, strange rugby season.

Ahead of the opening semi finals next weekend, Rugby News caught up with all four coaches to get the inside word on their playoff preparations and see what they had to say about the other three finalists.

Next, we chat to Wests coach Carl Marshall.

How are things looking heading into the finals?

“The boys and all the coaches are all really excited,” Marshall told Rugby News.

"Obviously, it was a strange end to the season but at the end of the day, it’s the first time in five years and only the second time in 14 years that Wests Premier Grade have made the finals.
