ago, you can bet Auckland is in line for the award this week. The blue-and-whites can play a lot better than they have in recent matches and we think they may start to show that on Eden Park. Despite Taranaki's good form and record at the ground, we're going for Auckland by five points in this one.

Matt Berquist, 11. Bryce Heem, 12. Jamie Helleur, 13. Ben Atiga, 14. Atieli Pakalani Charles Piutau, 15. Brent Ward.

Reserves: 16. Ash Dixon, 17. Angus Ta'avao, 18. Kurtis Haiu, 19. Adam Kleeberger, 20. Brenton Helleur, 21. Gareth Anscombe, 22. Winston Stanley.
