Robertson gets us underway and North Harbour clear it back downfield

Welcome to the ninth round of the Mitre 10 Cup! You join us today as North Harbour take on Counties Manukau. Both teams have the the ability to play some great rugby and can really cause an upset if they wanted to. North Harbour are currently sitting on four wins and four losses while Counties Manukau have struggled a bit more this season with two wins and six losses. Will the absence of Kieran Read make a big difference in their match today? There's only one way to find out!
