Ioane kicks off this Ranfurly Shield clash

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Hello and welcome to Forsyth Barr Stadium for Round 4 action of Mitre 10 Cup. Otago host Manawatu in a Ranfurly Shield challenge. Otago haven't had the start they would've hoped for but will know they have an opportunity against a struggling Manawatu side, who has yet to win this season. History is also on their side, as Manawatu have only won once in the last seven matches.
