Rugby: Home away from home

Northland have been forced to move their opening home game of the Air NZ Cup to a neutral ground at North Harbour after bad weather made Okara Park's surface too boggy.

Northland's second-round match against Taranaki will be played on August 6 at North Harbour Stadium. The Taniwhas' first game on their home ground is now scheduled for round five on August 28 against Otago.
