Southland v Otago
-
Hurley with some good defence
-
Byron Smith outplaying Millar so far
-
Looks like we have lost Nareki.he went down pretty heavy. Keen to see how kyan Rangitutia goes.
-
Stags reserve midfielder looks good
-
I think he's out of Ponsonby. Read comparisons to Willis Halohalo
-
Timu gone now. Faleafaga on. Wonder whether it will be Gilbert out on. Or Millar to fullback, Hurley to the wing and Whaanga to centre

You're kidding? What's Millar meant to do, Otago have had zero possession. All I've seen Smith do is punt aimlessly, and shovel it on/run acrossfield...

@SouthernMann He was with Ponsonby this year but previously the star of the 22/23 champions Manukau Rovers. Was the best player in club rugby last 2 seasons and should have made the Auckland squad last year.
-
He certainly looks very impressive. This will be a massive second half for Otago if they can get up. Some big imjuries already.
-
29% possession in the first half. Playing exactly like last season so far. Good to see we are consistent at least

Probably better than being compared to Dillon Halahalo...

I mean, he looks ok but I wouldn’t go that far just yet. I do recall you aren’t a huge Millar fan but for someone who likes both players, they’ve been pretty neck and neck.

Hopefully he is more selective around his alone time and where he does it

Nine players out from the top 23. Makes it hard.

Should still be 10 super rugby players on the field for Otago though right? Granted some not first choice starters but still super players none the less.
I saw an article on the ODT with Donnelly playing down the super rugby experience in the squad and saying the players are still young. He is correct in saying they are young but IMO, if you have super rugby players they are obviously the better players available in the NPC competition so sort of struggling to see his point and what he was trying to achieve by saying that. The guy is way out of his depth as a head coach.

Taking off where we ended last season, might actually be worse. Can see why Canterbury beat us 47-0.
Super rugby players outplayed by a team with more club players than anything else. Embarrassing.

Pathetic is an understatement. Gilbert fighting people off the ball at the end there. Exactly what you want to see from your skipper... shambolic.

Also saw Abraham Pole having a laugh with one of his Moana team mates with a couple minutes to go while we were trying to get out of our 22….. yikes. Shambolic is probably the best way to put it.
What the f#ck was the game plan?! Sitting here still trying to figure it out…
