    I like it that Otago has decided to play this RS match in an away game in Oamaru, instead of Dunners.

      @Stargazer It should be mandatory for the top teams. I've seen Waikato play in Ruatoria and Paeroa.

        That's pretty normal for pre-season lower level Shield Challenges isn't it?

          @Hooroo One game, usually, although - like the game v Thames Valley, the home games are sometimes played outside the province's main centre (Wanaka instead of Dunedin).

          Edit:
          For example, Taranaki played its Heartland Ranfurly Shield games last year as two home games, but outside New Plymouth.
          In Hawera against Whanganui and Tikorangi against Poverty Bay.

            FT: Otago 49 - 14 North Otago

            Only watched the 2nd half, but it was a good game to watch. Not bad at all from the amateurs from North Otago. Always a great opportunity for the small Heartland provinces to take on the big brothers.

            Also officated well. Rebecca Mahoney is progressing well as a ref; gradually taking on bigger games. She'll be our own Amy Perrett (Aussie ref, first female SR referee).

                              By bit I assume you mean very.

                              I look forward to Richard doing a review of all 13 year eras of the Shield - he's going to be in for a shock.

                              I checked his Twitter, he's a Canes fan and he's complaining about how his province is treated. Irony.
