North Harbour halfback Bryn Hall is thrilled a key player is back for the final round of the NPC regular season. 

Winger Mark Tele'a will kit-up and look to add star-power against Southland in Invercargill today having been released from the All Blacks.

D'Arcy catches up with Bryan Hall ahead of their must-win final round game.
