The wider training group consists of 34 players although many of them are still young and learning the game at a higher level. The squad does not include any Super Rugby players, who will come back into calculations for the Otago side. Along with the wider training group, a further group made up of members of a prospective Otago development team and Otago under-19 team have started training together. Otago used more than 50 players in the Mitre 10 Cup last season and depth will be required this season.
