The catchphrase ‘there can be only one' from popular cult fantasy movie ‘Highlander' will ring true today after Mount Maunganui and Rangataua meet in the Baywide premier rugby final.

The Mount is hosting the big clash at Blake Park at 2.45pm today, with Mount Maunganui's development side's finals clash against Tauranga Sports kicking off at 12.30pm as the curtain-raiser.

Mount Maunganui's premier team has to be the favourite going into the clash after suffering only one loss this season, when they let go of a narrow 27-21 clash against Rotoiti in round seven.

Apart from that one slip-up, the green machine has used the power of their big forwards like Solomona Sakalia and captain Chris Elvin to beat down their opponents before letting the attacking pace of guys like New Zealand Sevens player Isaac Te Aute and Mason Walker dazzle their way to victory.

Rangataua is similar in their approach – they like to starve their opponents of possession with their loose trio of Julian McLeod, Adam Parr and captain Matt Clutterbuck disrupting opposition ball, before they unleash guys like Teina Kika, Chase Tiatia and Ainsley Skudder.

The last time the two sides met was back in round one this season, when the Mount side came away with a 29-24 win. But as both sides know, history means nothing on the paddock. It's who wants it most on the day.

In the other Baywide Premier Two final, Whakarewarewa host Paroa at Puarenga Park, Rotorua; and Opotiki will host Waikite at Opotiki Park.

In the Division One final Judea host Te Teko, and in Division Two Waimana host Murupara.
