It will be the battle of the big guns as Tauranga Sports take on Te Puke in the Baywide premier rugby tomorrow.
Te Puke have swept aside all who have come before them this season and Tauranga are no exception, going down 42-11 way back in round two of this year's competition.
However, with home ground advantage and Tauranga's recent form - a 60-15 thrashing of Whaka last weekend, the home side will fancy their chances of giving Te Puke their first defeat of the season.
But they will need to topple Te Puke's mighty forward pack and shut down first five-eight Nick McCashin, who has been in dynamic form this season.
Although Tauranga's Nick Evemy has been equally impressive, piling on 20 of his team's 60 points last weekend, Te Puke will need to keep a close eye on the classy player. Whaka will be desperate to get back to their winning ways when they take on Greerton Marist at Puarenga Park, Rotorua, tomorrow.
It has been five weeks on the trot without a win for the Kevin Lee coached side but Greerton won't be laying down for the Rotorua side after they had an impressive 45-34 win over Opotiki last weekend.
Rotoiti, who have been impressive this season thanks to new coach and former Steamers captain Wayne Ormond, will host Rangataua. It should be an easy win at home for the lakesiders, however. Rangataua are a proud club and will be looking to make up for their disappointing 32-7 loss to Te Puna in the last round.
Te Puna host Mount Maunganui at Maramatanga Park tomorrow and will be hoping to cement their third spot on the points table. In division one, Rangiuru, who currently lead the division, host Te Teko at Centennial Park, Paroa travel to Tuhoe country to play Ruatoki, Marist St Michael's host Ngongotaha in a local derby, Reporoa and Poroporo go head to head at Reporoa, and Whakatane Marist host Kahukura at Rugby Park in Whakatane.
