Welcome to round 5 of the Mitre 10 Cup where Wellington take on Otago! Wellington are without doubt the favourites for today's match up as they sit in fourth place of the Premiership table and Otago sit at fourth place of the Championship table. Wellington do come off of a shock defeat against Canterbury just last week so may be feeling a bit discouraged. Otago, too, come off of a loss against Hawke's Bay, which means the field is level in that regard.
