    It's win or go home time - for the whole season - for the desperate Otago men's NPC rugby side tonight


    They visit the Northland Taniwha in Whangarei shortly, in their final round-robin game.

    Otago must win to make the top-eight finals... they're currently 10th, two points behind eight-placed Counties Manukau.

    Northland are 12th and are out of the playoffs picture... kickoff is moments away.
