Welcome to Eden Park. Its Mitre 10 Cup round 7. Auckland vs Otago. Auckland are unbeaten this campaign and have looked simply superb. Putting in some spectacular performances. They are a different beast this season under the mentor ship and guidance of Sir Graham Henry in the change room. Otago are 3 from 6 this season and have an opportunity to get among the top places in the Championship. It should be an entertaining game
