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"...

Join Dylan Cleaver, ACC Head G Lane and Jeremy Wells for the greatest and most bitter rivalry in New Zealand rugby history. It’s not the Bledisloe, not even the ABs and the Springboks. We are talking Auckland vs Canterbury... In the 1980s!

It was Grizz vs Harty. The Deans Brothers vs The Brooke Brothers. The City Slickers vs The Mainlanders. 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.

Read Dylan Cleaver's full write-up on the history of the Auckland & Canterbury rivalry HERE!
