Preview | Rd 7 Crown Lift Trucks Fox Championship

The Crown Lift Trucks Fox Championship competition returns to action this Saturday after all teams sat out last week during the bye round, with a top-four clash between Pakuranga and Manurewa among the games on offer.

Both teams come off last-up wins and in the case of Manurewa a win would see them leapfrog the Jaguars into third place.

Top-of-the-table Manukau look to continue their unbeaten run when they face Papatoetoe, and Otara travel out to meet Hibiscus Coast, who currently sit on the edge of the top four after a mid-season resurgence.

Waitemata and Ellerslie search for their second win when they clash in the remaining game at Ranui Domain.
