Auckland's had to watch another team lift the silverware on their own turf

The blue and white hoops have lost the Mitre 10 Cup premiership final 13-12 to Tasman at Eden Park.

Coach Alama Ieremia says yellow cards to prop Angus Ta'avao just before halftime and fullback Zarn Sullivan early in the second half cost them the game.
