Otago was hoping to win the Shield for the fourth time since the 2013 drought-breaker but was outmuscled by the home team.
The visitors dominated the opening half but went into the break trailing 14-7 despite enjoying 70 percent of the territory.
Impressive winger regathered a chip kick after the hooter to stretch the final margin to 24 points.
