Hawke's Bay v Otago (Ranfurly Shield)

[Tim]

@gt12 Crusaders use Lincoln well.

Not sure Otago have enough points in them without Nareki and Ioane.

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.

Is there fake crowd noise? Sounds like Eden park when the bay make a break

It’s the echo of a half empty stadium.

Enari much better this week.

[ACT Crusader]

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.

[antipodean]

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.

And just when you thought….

[antipodean]

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

[KiwiMurph]

How's the constant siren. Sounds like an NBA game every time there is a sub

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.

Nice of Penrith to donate some jerseys

If there is an end of year tour i'd like to see Flanders involved.

Is Ken Laban moonlighting as McClutchie’s agent? Far out can you talk up a player anymore than he has done today?

He seems to be getting a spotting fee for Samoan eligible players as well...

Yes, TJ and Bridge.
