Hello and welcome to the iconic Eden park for Ultimate Rugby's coverage of the Mitre 10 cup Premiership Semi final between Auckland and Wellington. We have seen some crackers so far in the semi finals this weekend and this will be no different. Two of the best attacking teams. Auckland are a completely different beast this season and Wellington will beat anyone on their day. Tough to call this one, but Auckland will hope home field advantage plays a part.
