Otago 2022

Otago squad for its pre-season clash against Southland. Strange the Highlanders most recent no10, is back at fullback. Strong backline. Still don't rate Millar Otago: Sam Gilbert (co-captain), Vilimoni Koroi, Josh Timu, Thomas Umaga-Jensen, Jona Nareki, Cameron Millar, Kemara Hauiti-Parapara, Rupeni Tamani, Sean Withy (co-captain), Oliver Haig, Will Tucker, Fabian Holland, Saula Ma’u, Henry Bell, Abraham Pole. Reserves: Harry Press, Tau Koloamatangi, Josh Hohneck, Will Stodart, Taylor Dale, Jin Ho Mun, Raymond Nu’u, Jake Te Hiwi, Rohan Wingham, Leroy Ferguson, Finn Hurley, Jeremiah Asi, Jack Leslie.
@SouthernMann just hope all the lads come out unscathed

@SouthernMann wow, interesting captains, happy with those
I think we knew Gilbert would be 15 rather than 10 with Ioane, Millar and Koroi...althougth we might see Gilbert at 10 more than Koroi now which i dont hate
edit: i like pictures

I'm interested to see the balance of the loose forwards come the season proper. It will be either our FIFO from Waikato or Lio-Willie at 8. I think they will put Lentjes at 6 and Withy at 7. I'd be disappointed if we don't push Withy hard this season.

Tha game will be streamed on the Stags Facebook page from 2.05 pm https://www.facebook.com/southlandstags

watching now, have to take the jersey numbers with a grain of salt, two 13's on the pitch and it looks like Ioane on in 18
26-0 to the Razorbacks at the moment
-
Koroi seems to be running at first receiver a lot...maybe alternating with millar?
side point....Rugby Parks non-symmetrical main stand really makes my eye twitch

36-0....Southland making us look very good

the Try to our Big number 6 Oliver Haig gave me a proper laugh
poor Marty -
A puff piece about Nareki's return from injury. Surprised he was only 82kg before the injury

Jona Nareki was on James Marshall what a lad pod, at the time of recording he said he's out 8 weeks, so if we are still alive in 7 weeks, he'll be available

well it was a season where we just couldn't finish the job i.e wellington, counties and Canterbury game, Injuries in the midfield took it's toll, Ricky Jackson's injury was a big loss as the coaches didn't seem to trust the 3rd hooker Robertson? Positive's young players such as Holland, Haig, Millar, Withy & Henry Bell. As for next season if hauitu-Parapara the halfback doesn't return that's fine as I liked the look of Mclea more if I'm honest, if Josh ioane leaves then I trust Cam to continue on at 10 with Faleafaga making his way into the 23 next yr.

@FakatavaAllBlack really felt on paper this team could have done more, the season feels so short, a couple of injuries and a couple of losses in the bounce and everything becomes an uphill task
