So, it looks like the current modal of 4 tiers in New Zealand (Club-->Provincial Unions--> Super Rugby--> All Blacks) is failing at the lower levels.. I find it hard to believe that there won't be an Otago team in the National Championship this year, but it could happen.
Shame, they have a brand new indoor stadium - which are great for New Zealand's night time weather - but apart from the Highlanders there's no fulltime tenant.
