Other than what appears to be an aberration against Auckland, Tasman has a good case for being the form team of the Mitre 10 Cup.

Good Day Ultimate Rugby viewers, we welcome you to another week of what is a very interesting Mitre 10 Cup.

The Mao have racked up five straight wins and are coming off a 47-21 dismantling of Otago in Dunedin in which fullback Will Jordan, with a brace, moved up to nine tries for the season.

The Magpies, as befitting such a young team, have been somewhat inconsistent, but they have shown glimpses of what the future will hold with their 5-4 record. They have scored 43 tries, which is three more than the Mako.

The last six encounters between these two sides have gone the way of the Mako, and they will surely be favourites in their third and finall outing at Trafalgard Park this season.

However can the Magpies cause an upset? Stay tuned right here live on Ultimate Rugby for your best play by play commenatry to find out.
