No, he played last week
 - 
							
							
							
							
@Kiwiwomble the week before v Northland, wasnt he one of the ones out that week?
You'd think with that week off, he is injured this week...

@taniwharugby no, koroi and ioane, Nareki played...
 - 
							
							
							
							
@Kiwiwomble ah ok, as you were.
 - 
							
							
							
							
so, Nareki (ribs) and Hammington (Achilles) both with niggles
Dickson injured his knee in training and could be out for a couple of weeks
Coltman out for the season apparently, thats a blow

Manaaki Selby-Rickit back for southland which will lift them
this could be tight

@Kiwiwomble there's always a sense of peril for otago fans leading up to this fixture. I remember it was the same in the early 90s.
Never seems to pan out too bad though - 
							
							
							
							
@Kiwiwomble given all thier games in Invercargill this year have been tight...average of 1 point in it this year...naki being the highest scorer with 17, while Southland have scored 16 (W) 11 (W) 9 (L) 9 (L)
There will be added pressure on them though, as they simply must win to have a shot at the top 4.

Why did Southland not take 3 before?
