    The Ranfurly Shield is on the move again

    The Ranfurly Shield is on the move again


    It's now in the hands of a fifth different side this NPC season after Otago came back from 15 points down to beat Canterbury 38-36 in Christchurch.

    The blue and gold men join Taranaki, Waikato, Southland and the Cantabs in holding the Log o'Wood this year.

    Flanker Lucas Casey scored two tries for Otago and has told Gold Sport he's delighted.



    Earlier, Wellington demolished Southland 75-19 in Porirua and Counties-Manukau beat Auckland 49-28.
