Welcome to another exciting weekend of Mitre 10 Cup action. It was an exciting opening round last weekend, and all signs lead to another on the cards. Today we are are Lansdowne Park, where Champions Tasman will host Northland. Both sides got off to brilliant starts as they each took full points. Northland have a huge task on their hand. Not only must they try and end Tasman's run of 13 wins in a row, but they also have to try and beat a side they last beat in 2012. It should be a fantastic game
