Southland host Hawke’s Bay in week 5 of the Mitre 10 Cup.
Southland is yet to win in four matches and lie bottom of the Championship standings.
Hawke’s Bay on the other hand have not fared any better, losing all five games to bring up the rear in the Premiership table.
With no wins between the sides, they will both be desperate to register that elusive first victory in the tournament.
These sides have played 52 times with Hawke’s Bay winning 22 and Southland 28 with two draws.
The last match ended Hawke’s Bay 35 Southland 28 back in 2015.
