And one of those Harrys is already a bit grumpy.
Southern captain Harry Taylor will not get to play in today’s premier final against Dunedin at Bathgate Park.
He guided the Magpies to victory last season and was hoping for a repeat today.
But he has been contracted to Otago and played in the warm-up match against Southland at Kettle Park yesterday.
The club final had to be sacrificed.
The other Harry — Harry Press — will be very happy if he leads Dunedin to the title.
The Sharks will start as underdogs given Southern has won two of the three games between the teams this season.
Southern edged Dunedin 19-10 in the first round of playoffs earlier this month.
But Dunedin used its second life to upset Kaikorai in the semifinal, while Southern got past Taieri in the other.
Aron Einarsson will assume the Southern captaincy in Taylor’s absence.
Taylor has been one of the best players in the competition and the rugged loose forward was gutted to miss out.
"Getting this opportunity for Otago is important for me. But, yeah, I really wanted to finish this season for Southern. I’ve played every game," Taylor said.
He is confident his side will "get it done" without him.
"We’ve got the team to do it."
Southern will have to show a lot of patience because Dunedin will look to monopolise possession and build pressure that way.
The Sharks also have a formidable scrum.
But Southern has a meaty pack and they have also got an ace in fullback Mackenzie Haugh.
Haugh loves the big stage. In the 2017 final he came on as a substitute after a couple of minutes and ended up scoring three tries to help Southern beat Harbour 24-17.
Last year he set up the winning try with a wonderful piece of skill. He chipped ahead, regathered and set off on an angled run to the line in a play dubbed the "Macca Miracle".
He was dragged down short but flanker Jordan Dwight scooped it up to score and secure a 26-20 win against Taieri.
"Mackenzie is one of our most influential players. He runs pretty much our whole kicking game and puts us in the right areas," Taylor said.
"And he has an awesome attacking ability and will have free licence to spark any opportunity he can."
Press is well aware of the danger Haugh presents. But Dunedin’s plan is to limit the touches Haugh gets by keeping the ball out of Southern hands.
Dunedin denied Kaikorai the ball for long periods last weekend.
"Our game plan will be pretty much the same," Press said.
"You can’t score tries without the ball, so we’ll take a lot from that match against Kaikorai and try and put out the same performance if not better.
"Our set piece is our weapon and we’d like to keep that going in this last game. If that means we scrum them off the park, we scrum them off the park."
That is a prop talking. Dunedin did have a few lineout issues against Southern last time around.
Towering lock Reuben Palmer will be charged with turning that around. He has had an impressive season.
Winger Oscar Schmidt-Uili and midfielder Joe Cooke shape as threats as well.
Southern will lean on loose forwards Mika Mafi and Konrad Toleafoa to get some front foot ball.
They will certainly miss Taylor and Dunedin will be without prop Rohan Wingham, who also played in the Otago warm-up game yesterday.
