It’s the pick of the round in what is already shaping up to be a hugely competitive league. The Kauri took Tasman to task last week in their 13-51 victory at Trafalgar Park, while Otago couldn’t keep up with the Wellington Pride in their 31-49 bonus point loss.
Meanwhile, all three Premiership matches will be broadcast on Sky this weekend as Saturday sees Bay of Plenty Volcanix host Canterbury, Waitomo Waikato take on Auckland Storm, and on Sunday Counties Manukau Heat welcome the Manawatū Cyclones.
