Waikato v Otago

Did i just hear Nisbo say James Tucker is off to the Brumbies..?
 - 
							
							
							
							
@steven-harris Yes he did. Tucker was with them last season so must be returning. That's another Lock out of Blues contention. C'mon Sam Caird!

technically, that'd be a PT and YC due to the shoulder charge anyway?
 - 
							
							
							
							
how was there no advantage for Otago there, surely that ball came off a Waikato player?

Gee Otago what were you thinking ..?,kick to the corner

Jeez, probably lucky Otago went quick...

Hammingotn knocked on right at the start of that passage right in front of ref, then Waikato infringe.

Otago sneak home Nisbo..

Yuk. Very lucky with that win. Could not win a lineout. Tongia could not handle. Ratima made a great break for winning try but I thought his timing was a bit off tonite so backs were out of synch. Leuila was the standout for me. Marshall is a step up at hooker. Ioane and Willie were great for Otago.

An ugly win, but a win nevertheless. A shame if MP aren't interested in Leuila as he has some talent.
I look at this season in 2 stages: pre-covid bubble and post-covid bubble. I wouldn't under-estimate the situation both Waikato and Northland have been in for the last 4-5 weeks. Some players have been away from their children in that time. So to finish 2nd after the round-robin is a good effort, whatever happens in the SF.
