"NZ's Greatest Rivalry: Auckland Vs Canterbury"
To celebrate the 50th season of NPC rugby and the 50th year of the rivalry between Auckland and Canterbury, we thought we'd revisit our award-winning special deep dive into the rivalry centred around the "Match of the Century"...

On and off the field, fists flew, fans got personal, and as a result, some of the iconic games of footy were unleashed on thirsty New Zealand rugby fans.
