Auckland is a further north than where I am and doesn't tend to get the extra frosty mornings we get here. The weather up there today is clear but not especially warm for the middle of winter. At kickoff it'll be around 10C, pretty much no wind. I could be a little dewy but Eden Park is usually a very good track so it won't be heavy underfoot. We're spoilt here in NZ; even at NPC level almost all of our rugby pitches are as good or better than most of the grounds up in the NH; often bigger capacity and usually much better lights too (partly bc a lot of them double for day-night Cricket matches).
