Auckland’s final round robin NPC clash will look a little bit different this week. 

They’re saying goodbye to Eden Park and hello to the field at Auckland Grammar, taking the game back to the grassroots. 

Auckland Rugby CEO Jarrod Bear told Heather du Plessis-Allan that it’s an opportunity to get out to different corners of Auckland, they’ve had great feedback. 

He said that Auckland Grammar has a fantastic connection to the game, not only with their participation opportunities, but also in the number of All Blacks and Auckland players they’ve produced over the years.
