Watch and Enjoy your favorite Auckland v Waikato Rugby Union live streaming

 

Picking a winner between Auckland and Waikato will be tough ahead of the second ITM Cup semi-final of the weekend at Eden Park.

One thing that is certain though, is that one of these two sides will face Canterbury in the Final next weekend after an incredible shoot-out in Christchurch saw the defending champs beat Wellington 57-41.

The high-scoring knock-out clash certainly raised the bar ahead of Saturday's meeting in the North Island, but with Auckland boasting the best defensive record in the tournament this year (their line was breached just 16 times during the 13 weeks of the round-robin competition), it's safe to say we won't be seeing a repeat of Friday's entertaining points spree.
