Otago v Hawke's Bay

[Stargazer]

@Nepia Oh, I totally agree! It's just that Godfrey will be wearing that 15 jersey tomorrow, and the other fullback options have a different number on their back.

Godfrey is still a puppy, who'll play his first NPC game, so I have no unreasonably high expectations. I just hope he'll play well.

@Stargazer said in Otago v Hawke's Bay:

@Nepia Yep, 2nd stringers in the starting XV and 3rd stringers on the bench. So unnecessary, as we play Manawatu on Sunday! I'd rather see them use that game to give some players a rest.

I kind of hope that Godfrey rips Otago to pieces to claim that starting fullback jersey, but Tiatia may be a coach's pet, so not sure it will happen (this year).

Wash you mouth out with soap and water. If there is any team we want to beat by about 438 points in a game it is the 'Poo. Naturally we should play our first choice starting lineup against that mob.

[Higgins]

@Nepia He went OK against Poverty Bay chipping into the back line and making a couple of searing breaks, but that was little more than an opposed training run in the end.

[Stargazer]

I wonder when they found out about Fakatava being released. I'd rest Weber against Manawatū and put him on the bench for this game (swap with McLeod).

[Higgins]

@Nepia Now 7 - 0 to HB after 20 minutes

[Nepia]

Coverage is back!

[Grooter]

@Nepia just in time to see Cam get Otago on the board!

[Higgins]

@Nepia Typical, just in time for them to fluke a penalty kick to make it 07 - 03 after 30 minutes!

Griggs a good runner but if someone told me his middle name was Masaga I wouldn't be surprised.
