Wellington vs Otago

[Winger]

Blackwell off replaced by Plumtree

Wellington scrum well on top so far

[Stargazer]

So Dom Bird got a yellow in the 44th minute (before HT) and he's already back on in the 49th minute? Yellows aren't 10 minutes anymore? This is not the first game where I've noticed this.

Edit: I don't have another explanation than that Sky has re-set the clock on screen.

[Higgins]

There was a minute or two of play after he got carded until half time was whistled.

[Bovidae]

Was Williams always meant to be the ref in this game? Two games in two days.

[Winger]

Otago third try. Not converted

32-19

Bird had 7:50 minutes remaining at the end of the first half

[Winger]

@Toddy

Or was the clock set back at HT

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Ah yes, and the clock re-sets to 40 at half time.

[Winger]

Otago on top now Maybe the three games are having an impact now

[Higgins]

That was too easy. Imagine what the HB lineout drive is going to do this this mob next Saturday night.

[Grooter]

Keep going boys! what a comeback this could be

[Winger]

Otago a lineout drive try

Close game now 32-26

4 tries each. 2 penalties diff

[Winger]

All Otago. Wellington attack but get no-where

[Grooter]

Dammit bell

[Winger]

Some of these penalties against wellington are a it tough

[Winger]

Otago well on top though.

Numia just been replaced 70+ minutes after another long shift

[Higgins]

An now another wellington binning and an Otago lineout drive coming from the resultant penalty.

[Winger]

Yellow card wellington. Think wellington is done for now

[Higgins]

@Winger Maybe not, Otago botch the lineout!
