Otago Spirit Coach Scott Manson has named his team to take on Northland this Saturday at Forsyth Barr Stadium in their first FPC home game for the 2022 season.

The Spirit are coming off a convincing win against the Hawke’s Bay Tui last week in Hastings, final score 44-22. This was a great first hit out for the newly formed team that should give them some solid confidence going into Round 2.

Bella Digby will be making her potential debut.

Tegan Hollows and Julia Gorinski will lead as co-captains.

Once again in 2022, all Farah Palmer Cup games will be broadcast live on Sky Sport and available Free to Air thanks to Bunnings Warehouse and Sky Sport.
