Capacity crowd tipped
Rugby Southland head of commercial and business development Jack King said about 3000 tickets had already been allocated and 30% of the capped crowd limit was already gone.
"We've set a target of 10,000 fans because we want Stag Day to be a genuine celebration of Southland rugby."
"With sold-out hospo and tickets tracking well, and the buzz around this game, it's almost certain to sell out.
Mr King urged fans to buy tickets early to avoid missing out.
"The sooner we hit that target, the more confident we can be investing in making this an unforgettable experience."
Outgoing Stags coach Matt Saunders said the fans made the day special.
"You can feel that Southland pride when Rugby Park is packed. It lifts the boys and reminds us all why we do this.
"We're hoping the community turns out in force, because their support is our edge."

Spirit score late to take thriller
Out of breath just watching that. The Otago Spirit clinched a 34-33 win over North Harbour in their Farah Palmer Cup opener at Forsyth Barr Stadium yesterday. Harbour led for a good portion of the game and looked to have sealed a thrilling win when impressive first five Ella Henderson sliced through a couple of forwards on a short angled run to the line with 10 minutes remaining. But there were a few twists left. Otago replacement forward Sarah Jones pounced a few minutes later. She was dragged down short but got back to her feet and barged over. Classy halfback Abigail Paton drilled the conversion to give her side a one-point lead. But Harbour rallied. They launched wave after wave. Spirit captain Greer Muir helped nail the win. She got herself over the ball and grabbed plenty of turnovers, including a crucial one in the final few moments. But Paton grabbed the most important. Harbour were just metres from the line when she ripped it free and won a penalty. In a moment of madness, she took a quick tap and spun it wide. The ball was lost and Otago was right back on defence. They scrambled out of trouble and Muir managed to laugh it off during the post-match interview with the Sky commentary team. "When our halfback quick-tapped it and passed, I was . . . " Muir said, finishing her thought with a confused gesture. "But it was OK. I trust my team. "I'm so glad we came out on top." The visitors were pinned in their half for the opening five minutes, but lock Margaret Uluiqalau-Wye stormed through a hole and ran 30m to get Harbour into a prime attacking position. Harbour held on to possession and prop Rialani Onesemo-Tuilaepa crashed over to open the scoring. They swung back on to attack and launched wave after wave. Eventually, second five Holly Williams was able to dive over from close range. The defensive intensity was missing from the Spirit and they trailed 14-0. But Harbour missed a one-on-one tackle on Naomi Sopoaga close to the line and the Otago centre struck back. Otago winger Jamie Church burst into a hole and beat a couple of defenders. But the opportunity was lost when the ball was knocked on from a later phase. Both sides were making plenty of mistakes, but they were playing ambitious rugby, which was exciting to watch. Otago pounced on one of those errors. They took a tap kick from a 5m penalty, faked one way, went the other and fullback Olivia Fowler muscled over in the tackle. Harbour pushed their lead out to 19-12 when Ellie Harrison threw a dummy, stepped back in and scored from a few metres out. Otago responded by going 90m. Sheree Hume nabbed a turnover and the Spirit gave the ball width. Fowler finished off when she scooped up a loose pass and pushed off the cover defender. Muir made a strong run in the movement and the No 8 got her side back into the right area with another impressive carry moments later. Fowler almost jigged her way to the line, but Harbour wriggled out of trouble and went into the break with a 19-17 lead. Otago should have scored in the second spell. Sopoaga sprinted into a gap and got the offload to Hume, who had a fair chance to get to the corner but dropped the pass. Harbour struck instead. Left winger Ursola Eteru-Fuailefau cut in between Hume and Fowler from a 5m scrum and scored. There was more action to unpack when Paton dived over from the base of the ruck. The Otago halfback was providing a spark for the Spirit, and her connection with makeshift first five Georgia Cormick was flourishing. Church finished off in the corner and Otago took the lead midway through the half. But there were still 20 minutes of drama left in this one. In the other Championship games at the weekend, Wellington beat Tasman 39-7 and Northland defeated Taranaki 48-17. In the Premiership, Auckland edged Waikato 31-28, Counties-Manukau crushed Bay of Plenty 88-0, and Canterbury cruised to a 44-5 win over Manawatū. Farah Palmer Cup The scores Otago 34 Olivia Fowler 2, Naomi Sopoaga, Abigail Paton, Jamie Church, Sarah Jones tries; Paton 2 con. North Harbour 33 Rialani Onesemo-Tuilaepa, Holly Williams, Ellie Harrison, Ursola Eteru-Fuailefau, Ella Henderson tries; Henderson 4 con Halftime: Spirit 19-17.

Toleafoa to start as Lio-Willie given break
All Black Christian Lio-Willie has been given some time off to unpack his suitcase and get settled in Dunedin again. The powerhouse No 8 made 22 tackles to help Otago beat Southland 24-15 in the NPC opener in Invercargill on Saturday. But the star loose forward has had a busy few months, and coach Mark Brown said Lio-Willie would take some time off and rejoin the team on Monday. "We really appreciate what Christian has done for us," Brown said. "After the All Blacks' campaign [against France] finished, he just jumped in his car and came down for the Southland game. "He has been domiciled up in Christchurch for the Super campaign ... and he has had a big few months, culminating in his All Black appearances and also the Super Rugby final. "He needed a break and now is as good a time as any to give it to him." Southern's Konrad Toleafoa will start at No8 for Otago against Hawke's Bay in Dunedin this Sunday and will be making his debut. The promising loose forward is a devastating ball-carrier and light on his feet. There is one other change to the starting lineup. Jae Broomfield earns promotion from the bench and will start on the right wing ahead of Charlie Powell, who had an underwhelming debut for Otago. "Charlie has done nothing wrong. In fact, he has been really good with his detail. "But it is more the fact that we felt Jae has been offering just a little bit more potency on attack, so for that reason he gets the nod." Otago have strengthened their bench. Highlanders midfielder Jake Te Hiwi returns from injury (groin) and will start from the pine. He had a hit-out last weekend in the Tuppy Diack Shield and performed strongly. Te Hiwi set up two tries and dotted down for Otago Metro South in a 52-7 win over Southland Metro. Highlanders blindside flanker Oliver Haig has also returned from injury (ankle) a little early and he will provide lock and loose forward cover from the bench, while Charles Elton drops out of the game-day squad. New Zealand under-20 halfback Dylan Pledger replaces Bob Martin and will look to make an impact from the bench. Prop Rohan Wingham, who was a late scratching last week, has been named in the reserves. Hawke's Bay have named an unchanged side after thumping Counties-Manukau 54-14 in the opening round. NPC The teams Otago: Sam Gilbert (captain), Jae Broomfield, Josh Timu, Thomas Umaga-Jensen, Jona Nareki, Cameron Millar, Nathan Hastie, Konrad Toleafoa, Harry Taylor, Will Stodart, Joseva Tamani, Will Tucker, Saula Ma'u, Henry Bell, Abraham Pole. Reserves: Liam Coltman, Ben Lopas, Rohan Wingham, Oliver Haig, Lucas Casey, Dylan Pledger, Jake Te Hiwi, Sam Nemec-Vial. Hawke's Bay: Zarn Sullivan, Jonah Lowe, Nick Grigg, Kienan Higgins, Lukas Ripley, Harry Godfrey, Ere Enari, Devan Flanders, Cooper Flanders, Miracle Fai'ilagi, Tom Parsons (captain), Geoff Cridge, Josh Smith, Jacob Devery, Pouri Rakete-Stones. Reserves: Kianu Kereru-Symes, Hadlee Hay-Horton, Lolani Faleiva, Hunter Morrison, Frank Lochore, Folau Fakatava, Lincoln McClutchie, Andrew Tauatevalu.

Southland held to draw
Otago misses a goal in the first half of their drawn Peter Dawson Cup football match against Southland at Invercargill. — Otago Witness, 11.8.1925 Cavy wants its share According to all reports, Otago were a trifle lucky at Invercargill to retain the Peter Dawson Cup, which they have held since 1922. No challenges were played in 1924, and Saturday's game was the third occasion on which Southland have challenged. Each year they have gradually reduced the difference in the scores — in 1922 they lost by 3-0, in 1923 2-0, and this year the game ended in a draw, Southland being deprived of holding the cup by a goal scored in the last minute of the match. Southland fielded the strongest side that has represented the province for some years, and in E. Cook, the New Zealand rep, and Todd they have two brilliant forwards. Todd, who plays inside left, gave an outstanding display, and is the best player he has seen in the position in New Zealand. This pair were much too speedy for our defence, and, both being tricky with the foot, were always a source of danger to Otago. Cook, who scored both of Southland's goals, was inclined to too much individual effort, and there were occasions when a pass to either of his inside men would have proved an advantage. It was an exceptionally fast game, play moving rapidly from end to end throughout, and the Otago team's fitness stood them in good stead. It was only in the latter part of the game that Southland's passing fell away, and then halves failing to support them forward gave the Otago vanguard the opportunity to severely test the defence. — by 'Corner Kick' A Householders' and Ratepayers' Association was formed at a meeting held at Caversham on Tuesday night. Various speakers stressed the necessity for better telephone facilities and a double tramline over the hill. One said that the Normanby car should pick up at the Stock Exchange passengers from the Caversham car. The district had had a through tram service to the station, but that was taken away and given to the St Kilda people, not ratepayers of the city. Cr J.E. MacManus stated that the maintenance allocations totalled £46,994, and the amount for Caversham (including St Clair and South Dunedin to the Bay road) was £4,345. Of drainage allocations £1600 was to be spent on Sidey street. Runaway car The carelessness of a motorist yesterday resulted in considerable damage being done to two cars and slight damage to another. The offending vehicle was parked at the authorised stand in Moray place, outside First Church, and the driver apparently had neglected to put the brakes on, and had not left it in gear, for it suddenly moved off and travelled in a semi-circle for a number of yards. It then crashed into another car, striking the right rear wheel and breaking several spokes. The damaged car was carried sideways for several feet, and in turn struck a third car. Military fares Territorials and cadets, when travelling on the Mornington and Maori Hill tramcars on the way to drill, have to pay the full fare, while those travelling on the city trams are charged a penny for any distance. An inquiry was made yesterday from the tramway authorities, who stated that the Andrews bequest, from which the City Council received a sum of money each year, enabled a concession to be made on the city tramcars, but the bequest did not allow for a concession on the hill trams. On the privately-owned Kaikorai line cadets and Territorials in uniform are allowed either up or down for a penny. — ODT, 6.8.1925 Compiled by Peter Dowden
