Both teams need a win so far in the competition with returning All Blacks Isreal Dagg to Hawkes Bay and Aaron Cruden to Manawatu I think this will be a very exciting match.
Hawkes Bay were the most potent attacking team last year and this year they seem to be lagging a hell of a lot. Hopefully Dagg can bring back some of the magic he produced against the Springboks.
Cruden has very minimal game time under his belt this season but no doubt he'll be ready to fire up to impress before his first All Black start against the Wallabies in the following weeks.
He'll be looking for some very impressive game time and looking to keep Manawatu's heads up and get their season going.
My prediction, Hawkes Bay by 12+ because of Hawkes Bay bias and the return of Dagg
