Welcome to the Premiership Final of the Mitre 10 Cup! You join us as the reigning champions, Tasman Mako take on Auckland at their home ground Eden Park. Both teams had very similar runs throughout the season, both winning seven and losing three of their ten games. This means that this final battle will be a great one! Tasman are looking to be only the second team in Mitre 10 Cup history to win back-to-back finals! The last time these two teams met, in round 6, Auckland were the victors and therefore have a slight psychological edge over Tasman. Will it help them today?
