Canterbury hosts Otago in round 2 of the Mitre 10 Cup. Canterbury opened their season with a 39-0 away win over Tasman, while Otago went down narrowly 19-17 to North harbor. Canterbury will be defending the Ranfurly Shield for the first time in the Mitre 10 Cup this season, so expect a cracking encounter.
