Robertson kicks the game off

Welcome to Week 5 of the Mitre 10 Cup, where the Waikato takes on the Manukau at the Waikato Stadium. Waikato comes from a narrow win over Southland last week, and Manukau comes into this game with confidence after securing victory against Manawatu. A great 80 minutes of rugby awaits us.
