James Lowe with a great counter attack and still has the presence of mind to squeeze the pass off in contact

Bizarre try as Tasman kick it ahead and Piutau fumbles it over the line. Luatua gets his hands on it and tries to kick it clear but it goes 5m ahead of him directly to MzcDonald and all he does is take a step forward and fall over the line

Tasman steal the ball again after a great counter ruck. Hickey collects the kick and is smashed as he tries to clear it

Auckland lose it in contact and it is hacked down field to Piutau who counters well and puts Auckland on the front foot again

Team warning for Tasman as Ben Lam has another chance to score but is pushed out. Line out drive again for auckland

Hickey with a cross field kick to Lam but they couldn't collect it. Another line out for Auckland

Hickey sets up for the forwards to get their line out drive going after Tasman were offside

Wet day and game ahead of us here which will no doubt influence the handling but hopefully not dampen the attacking intent of these 2 sides. The teams are on their way out and Tasman will kick off

Welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of Auckland v Tasman. There are a number of ex and current All Blacks in these two sides and we should be in for a cracking game
