Perofeta kicks off the game

Welcome to the Mitre10 Cup, where Manawatu takes on Taranaki at the Manfeild Stadium. Manawatu won last week at home to Southland, while Taranaki lost at home to Manukau. Manawatu is currently last one the Championship log, and a win would see them move to 6th, While Taranaki lays in 4th position, and a win could push them to 3rd. An exciting 80 minutes of rugby awaits us.
