The first of three games on Saturday sees Otago hosting North Harbour in a Championship game. Tony Brown’s Otago had a brief flirtation with the Ranfurly Shield in 2013 and overall they were able to show that the great days in Otago rugby might not necessarily be over. The only severe loss for this season is captain Paul Grant but Brown has been able to attract the talented Trent Renata to the province to bolster the back division. Their opponents North Harbour have been down and out for so long that coaching them must seem like the poisoned chalice. However the no-nonsense former Southland forward Steve Jackson has taken over at the top and already the team looks better balanced and capable of making its mark. Maybe this is the year that North Harbour lifts from the slums and gives its supporters something to cheer about.
