Otago v Northland

[Stargazer]

Very patient from Otago. Good team try.

@Stargazer it was excellent patience, 17 phases to put Northland away now.

Arscott is rubbish. Don't know why he keeps on getting picked ahead of Hastie

Hastie not even on the bench lol. Like seriously?

I have no idea what the fuss is about Arscott. Just offers nothing.

I've no idea about McClea. I think Arscott is more than serviceable, and would be quicker than Hastie, but McClea is just so shit.

I think Hastie is a much offers a lot more around the ruck and with ball in hand. I don't really have much of an opinion around what their distribution is like.

[Gunner]

That was a tough penalty, 2 Otago tacklers didn’t roll away there

[taniwharugby]

@Gunner not sure they were even on the ball either

edit - were but didnt allow a release

[taniwharugby]

no way was that drop by Hawkins back...bit lucky there

[frugby]

Hard watch, but I'll take the win I suppose. Still plenty to do to make the eight.

[taniwharugby]

we always back up a good game with a poor game.

Otago showed good patience and got over a dozen phases multiple times, we were far too inaccurate

[fidz71]

Season over. Northland were dreadful.

Not sure either of these sides will threaten the playoffs, they certainly won't threaten the semis.

[fidz71]

Fair call mate. We are such an inconsistent side, play like contenders one week and then like bumbling fools. Credit to Otago though, a pretty good performance at the end of storm week.

reading these thread after the game is really interesting, was away so watch the replay last night....i really enjoyed it and thought ascott had a good game, remember thinking to me self he was improving nicely, i think i either i just miss loads of stuff, dont care about the stuff i do see or expect less from people at this level

[taniwharugby]

@Kiwiwomble for large patches I thought Otago played well
