After this weekend's titanic semi-final clashes around the country, the waiting is over and the match list for Finals Day is now confirmed!
Warriors chose the right moment to squash any doubts that have been raised by taking a convincing win over their local rivals Helsinki in the Men's Championship semi-final (41-11). Warriors will now meet Tampere in the final in a repeat of the situation two seasons ago. Between them, Tampere and Warriors have dominated the points-scoring rankings this year, so no matter who comes out on top, we can be sure of seeing some high-octane rugby for 80 minutes.
In the Men's Division 1, Old Town Shamrocks of Porvoo hammered Pori Bombers by 40-5 and will meet the winners of the northern division, Vaasa Wolves, who themselves won outright against a Joensuu side who should be proud of how far they have come this year (40-13).
On the women's front it's business as usual with the final set to be another clash between JRC's ladies and their rivals at Warriors, after Warriors overcame Tampere by 34-15.
Finals Day is hosted this year by Helsinki Rugby Club and will take place at Töölön Pallokenttä on Saturday 5th October. Keep up to date with the event on the Facebook page:

In the mean time there is the small matter of Finland's national team hosting Greece in Turku for a crucial European Nations Cup game! On the morning of that same day (and also at Turku's Paavo Nurmi stadium), Finland's development side, Finland A, will get their second ever game when they host Baltic rivals Estonia.
