Welcome to the match-up between Counties Manukau and Taranaki at ECOLight Stadium. Plenty of eyes will be on today's game with Sonny Bill Williams being left out of the All Blacks squad for their upcoming Bledisloe Cup clash in Perth. Many eyes will also be on Waisake Naholo as well as he will try to prove himself for the today's fixture. There is a lot of promising play that will be happening today with a lot of potential to be shown. It's a game that promises not to disappoint.
