Both teams running out onto the field now ready for this big clash!

Welcome to this Mitre 10 clash between Manawatu and Otago at the Central Energy Trust Arena. Manawatu narrowly lost to Bay of Plenty by 5 points last week while Otago also narrowly lost last week by 2 points to Counties Manukau. Should be an interesting match and one that will bring some good rugby and many tries.
