Scott MansonOtago Spirit coach Scott Manson has received national recognition. Manson has been named as an assistant coach for the Possibles side which will play in a Black Ferns trial at North Harbour on November 7. The Possibles side will be coached by Chad Shepherd, who coaches the North Harbour Heat. The Black Ferns were set to play eight tests this year with games at home and abroad but Covid-19 has thrown those plans out the window. Manson, a former Otago prop, has been growing in his coaching role and this appointment shows his skills have been viewed positively at a national level.
