Welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of this Mitre 10 Cup match that sees Taranaki & Tasman Makos clash at Yarrow Stadium. Both sides have won their last 4 matches in a row and will both be looking to extend their recent run of form, with playoff spots still up for grabs. Taranaki have lost All Black Charlie Ngatai to injury but have a more than capable replacement in Johnny Fa'auli while Marty McKenzie and Stephen Perofeta have been in fine form so far this season. Tasman has a dangerous back three with the likes of James Lowe, Viliami Lolohea and Will Jordan all combining yet again in this match. Stay with us as we await kickoff for this mouthwatering encounter between two in-form sides.
