The NFL final - known across the globe, even to non-fans, as the Super Bowl - is being played this Sunday (Monday NZT) between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.

This year the final may pull in an audience-base hitherto unseen: fans of the global megastar Taylor Swift, owing to her high-profile relationship with Chiefs player Travis Kelce.

Sports freak Hamish Girvan joins Emile Donovan to preview the big day.
