The Festival of Football is taking place in Auckland today, with three Kiwi gridiron sides taking on three Australian sides at Trust Arena. 

The marquee fixture is between the Iron Blacks and the Aussie side, and it’s the first time since 2003 that the match will be played on New Zealand soil. 

Following last year’s narrow 20-16 loss over on the Gold Coast, the Iron Blacks will be eager to get one over our neighbours across the ditch. 

Captain of the Kiwi side, Ala Kaufana joined D’Arcy Waldegrave to chat about the upcoming clash.
