With just eight matches to play before we head into play offs, Mitre 10 Cup fans will be treated to an enthralling weekend of action.

After a scintillating Ranfurly Shield victory over Canterbury, Taranaki will kick off week 9 with a challenge against old foes Manawatu. The winner will not only lock away the Log o Wood for the summer but will also claim valuable competition points.

While the premiership semi finalists are confirmed, just where those matches will be played is yet to be determined. In the championship, Wellington have assured themselves home advantage, behind them Northland, Bay of Plenty, Manawatu and Otago are seperated by just four points.

Stalwart referee Shane 'Gappie' McDermott will referee his 83rd and final first class fixture when he officiates the North Harbour v Taranaki match on Sunday.
