Otago Form
Otago are flying high at the moment in the NPC. They are second on the table with 31 points, four points behind Canterbury. After six wins in eight matches, the Dunedin-bases side will start fancying their chances this season.
Just two rounds remain before the knockouts and while overtaking Canterbury may be a tough ask, Otago need to keep winning to remain second. With four wins in their last five, Otago are in fine form.
Last weekend, Otago won 38-36 in a cracking contest at Canterbury. It was also Canterbury’s first defeat of the season.
North Harbour Form
North Harbour are bottom of the NPC table after eight matches. They have lost all eight and only have five points to show for their efforts.
There is nothing other than pride to play for in the final two weeks of action. While getting off the mark in the win column will be some sort of positive, performances this season have hardly inspired confidence.
That said, over the last three rounds, North Harbour have challenged and been rather unfortunate to lose all. They went down 22-19 at Counties Manukau before losing 29-28 at Waikato. Last weekend, North Harbour lost 22-21 at home to Northland.
Verdict
North Harbour can get within 14.5 points of Otago.
North Harbour +14.5
