Otago face off against Canterbury in Hilux NPC Round 2 on Sat 8th August 2026 at Forsyth Barr Stadium. Kick-off in the UK is scheduled for 03:05. In South Africa it’s at 04:05 SAST, 14:05 NZST in New Zealand, 12:05 AEST in Australia and 19:05 EST in the US.
Canterbury won the last encounter but Canterbury are in the best form of their last 5 games.
Heading into the fixture the two sides are separated by just 2 places in the league table with Canterbury in 1st and Otago in 3rd underlining just how tight this match could be.
