In South Africa it’s at 04:05 SAST, 14:05 NZST on TVNZ+ in New Zealand, 12:05 AEST on Stan Sport in Australia and 19:05 EST on RugbyPass TV in the US.
Wellington won the last encounter but both teams are in the same form for their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 2 places in the league table with Wellington in 9th and Auckland in 11th underlining just how tight this match could be.
