    Delight from Otago head coach Mark Brown after helping the province hoist the Ranfurly Shield for the eighth time in their history

    Delight from Otago head coach Mark Brown after helping the province hoist the Ranfurly Shield for the eighth time in their history


    They've stormed back from 15 points down to hand Canterbury their first loss of the NPC season - pipping the red-and-blacks 38-36 in Christchurch.

    Brown - a former co-coach with Canterbury - tells Gold Sport what makes his Otago side special.



    The Log o' Wood has now changed hands for the fourth time this season - the first time that's happened in 75 years.
