Northland hosts the Wellington Lions in round 6 of the Mitre 10 Cup.
Northland is winless from six matches and is the only side yet to record a victory in the tournament. They sit in last place in the Championship ladder and will be desperate to pick up that elusive first win.
Wellington has four wins from five matches and currently sit second in the Championship standings. A victory over Northland will see them notch up their fourth win in a row and close the gap on Championship leaders Otago.
Theses sides last met back in 2015 with it ending 29-0 in favour of Wellington.
