Two Championship sides, Southland and Bay of Plenty, will face each other in Invercargill on Friday night and like the Thursday night match is not too easy to predict. Bay of Plenty had a dreadful 2013 campaign and dropped to the Championship for this season but they can expect more wins this season with what looks to be a useful squad.
The big signing for Southland in the off season is Highlanders first five Lima Sopoaga from Wellington. Penetration through the backs was an issue for the Stags last season and the inclusion of the elusive Sopoaga might just be the way to improve that area. In a tough one the home team has its nose in front.
