Hawke's Bay v Otago (Ranfurly Shield)
-
Is there fake crowd noise? Sounds like Eden park when the bay make a break
-
Josh Dickson has been very average this year.
Otago are pretty bad for a super rugby base with a uni and a polytech ...

Not enough rugby players coming out of higher education, and not enough of them who care about doing that and playing footy.

I hope there is a change of ref at half time, this one has already eaten all the match day pies, he will be gassed shortly.

@gt12 Crusaders use Lincoln well.
They do, but I think they have the whole package set up well to add value while training to hopefully play for Canterbury and the Saders. So, Otago has that as something to add, but I guess my point is that the University itself doesn’t provide much of a pathway.

Anyone see vahaakolo get up just then!? Looks like he could play front row but just did one of those backwards handstand pop onto your feet things!

In wrestling, that is called a kip-up
My favorite wrestler, Orange Cassidy, does it with his hands in his pockets

@kiwimurph those 2 are a big loss for Otago.

I cant say shit either because we had the option of buying near Canterbury or Dunedin. It was a relatively easy choice thinking about travel access, schools, activities, education, and the cost was similar.
So, if you are an outsider who isn’t planning to be a huge party-er at school, I can see why even if the landers have it all straight up, they’ll still struggle to get players over the Saders and others.

There's no way we should be up by 7 at halftime. What a weird half of rugby.
Not trying to curse you (honest
) , but after been under the pump for most of first half, I think you guys looked more dangerous with ball in hand. -

It’s the echo of a half empty stadium.

Hammington is a good player, but he butchered some attacking opportunities by taking multiple steps from the base of the ruck from front foot ball.
A couple of very poor efforts to secure attacking ruck ball by Otago and the Magpies were able to turn it over and then almost score immediately.
-
More than a kick a minute. Entertaining stuff.
Otago #8 looks lazy. Nothing worse than a player who loses the ball and lays on the ground feeling sorry for himself.

Enari much better this week.
And just when you thought….

Nel with a turnover on the line just after I shit on his efforts...

Don't be shocked to see the Magpies run out in a different jersey, today. They'll be wearing the charity jersey that will be auctioned off for "Nourished for Nil".

Would anyone be interested? It looks like a league jersey.
