So, the BOTTOM New Zealand side beats the TOP Australian side, away from home.

Shows the strenght of the New Zealand Conference vs the weakness of the Australian Conference.

In an hour and a half it is the BIG DERBY in South Africa… the DHL Stormers vs Vodacom Bulls.

This will be followed by the Cell C Sharks vs Highlanders from Durban and after that we have one of the Guinness PRO14 Semi-finals… the Llanelli Scarlets vs Toyota Cheetahs.
