    Umaga Jensen is fully fit right? It's just news of that cantab 13/wing Ennor joining the abs as cover made me suddenly think of TUJ

    @mikey07 Yeah. Josh was playing club last year for Harbour then got called into the otago squad as a backup player when Josh Ioane was injured. He never played but he has gotten injured this year but was playing well, maybe he's back now but not 100% sure yet. And versatile at full back too which helps too

    The Dunedin winger I was thinking of is Oscar Schmidt-Uili. Although that Joe Cooke looks sharp.

    @SouthernMann Mm. Joe has come down from Auckland. Maybe to break into the Otago squad but he was the top try scorer in Auckland club rugby last year. Oscar is quick as well but I don't know if Tom will pick him with the other wingers we have

    Cooke looks to have some decent size to him.

    @NateHill74 Unfortunately the poor guy seems to have bad luck with injuries hopefully he’s over them.

    @macmanus I wonder who that would be. Connor Collins has played for the Wellington Lions in recent seasons, Logan Love (brother of Ruben Love) played for the Hurricanes under 20s, and Sam Howling was another halfback in the Hurricanes under 20s. Those are probably the obvious ones.

    I wonder who that could be. I don't think that every one of the no.8s used by Waikato last year can all be in the squad. Rupeni Tamani could be that player, as he is older than the others.

    Be someone to share the eight load with Christian Lio-Willie. So someone in the I'll walk through brick walls mould. I suspect they will be playing Withy and Lentjes at 6&7. With Sam Fischli around a swell.

    Probably asked if he would make the Otago squad.

    With the likes of Lentjes, Withy and others was told probably not, so went and found a new home.

    @SouthernMann he played only 5 games (4 subs) last year. He’s is contracted with NE FreeJacks until 2024 so it’s a bit rare…

    Otago squad for NPC https://www.odt.co.nz/sport/rugby/otago-gains-wellington-waikato-players
    Have picked up Tamani from Waikato and Kemara Hauiti-Parapara from Wellington. Rest of the squad quite predictable, interesting to see Freedom Vahaakolo back, I thought he was gone.
