Emotional scenes as the 'Last Post' has been played and a moments silence. We are seconds away from the start of the game. Chris Pollack will take charge.

The teams are out and the conditions are close on perfect for some good rugby. The teams come out to a guard of honor.

Just under 10 minutes until kick off here at Eden Park and there is a special celebration here too as 100 years of club rugby is celebrated too.

Round 11 is soon to get underway on this very important day. Huge clash first up as an in form Waratahs side travel to the Blues. Ma'a Nonu back starting and Piri Weepu back on the bench after suffering a minor stroke a few weeks back. The big talking point this week has been that around Benji Marshall and his exit out of rugby union and return to league.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them"
