    The Ranfurly Shield is heading to Dunedin

    The Ranfurly Shield is heading to Dunedin


    Otago's pulled off a 15-point comeback to stun Canterbury 38-36 in their NPC and Shield showdown in Christchurch.

    The red-and-blacks were up 36-21 midway through the second half, before Otago clawed back with three quick tries.

    Replacement hooker Liam Coltman - who's now claimed the Log O' Wood for the third time in his career - credits the bench for their efforts, on Gold Sport.
