Battle ongoing in campaign for America's Cup in Auckland

From Checkpoint, 5:28 pm on 6 December 2021

The battle continues between Team New Zealand and the group campaigning for the 37th America's Cup to be defended in Auckland.

The "Kiwi Home Defence" group had enough support to force the Squadron to a special general meeting on Thursday to vote on a motion that the Cup be defended on home waters.

But the group's withdrawn their request after reports suggested Team New Zealand boss Grant Dalton was doing a bit of a ring around to change people's minds.

Sports reporter Clay Wilson joins me now to explain this latest development.
