The Otago ITM cup squad will have another chance this weekend to bring the Ranfurly Shield back to Dunedin.

The side won the log of wood last year for the first time in 56 years when they beat Waikato.

However, they only held the shield for a short time, after losing to Hawkes Bay just nine days later.

Tomorrow they'll play Counties Manakau in Pukekohe.

And if the side does pull off another historic win, they can expect to arrive at Dunedin airport on Sunday afternoon to a crowd of excited fans.
