Southland v Otago
-
cant see Otago coming back from here...Southland lifted
-
That can go down as a wasted opportunity.
-
that was an awful breakdown there
-
jeez, reckon they should keep the heat on and go for the corner!!
Otago lucky PIckerill and the AR missed thier knock at the lineout too
-
I guess you don't have to roll away Mr Pickerill?
-
jeez Alaimalo lucky there lying on the top of the Otago player there forcing the easy t/o

We haven’t looked like winning but that was criminal

Dreadful finish by Otago to compliment Pickerill's blind refereeing.

Have to say the decision to take a penalty when you had Southland on the rack was baffling.
At this point Otago had the game. Definitely the turning point. Would have been a yellow for next infringement. Can’t understand what Collins was thinking.

@Donsteppa me too...
-
@kev I think shortly after they had a maul that was certain to score, Southland guy comes in from the side, think he was then the player that stole it over the line, and only a penalty...IMO YC at least
BUt this is Pickerill so...
Good for Southland taking advantage!!
-
@taniwharugby can see why they lost the shield. They really dropped their bundle in that last 20 minutes. Thought I was watching Northland.
-
It was a perfect storm of brain farts and yips, ioane obviously i his own head all game and Collins (who has been a great captain this season) just not thinking with the call for goal
Combine that with Southland having everything to play for and there you have it

I think Alaimalo was lucky to get that ruck turnover too. He made some bloody good front-on tackles in this game though.
Southland butchered at least 3 tries but it didn't matter in the end.
