Otago v Wellington
-
Jeez that was a shocker by Maiava. Could have been the match defining try.
-
@Grooter would be nice if he could donate some of his brain cells to his teammates
-
That’s a try I’m pretty sure. Sheck with the potential match winner.
That was impressive from Wellington again.

So weak from Otago. Ffs

Wellington have so much firepower.

Try confirms my belief Creighton is a winger and Whaanga is a centre. Haig is just all class. Does everything right.

I liked Haig back a couple of years back when he played NZ age group. Hopefully NZ gets him and the poms keep their grubby mits off him.

@Canes4life it’s still not good enough. The tackling and defensive positioning has been a serious issue for this team for several years (ditto the Highlanders). They desperately need some proper coaching or this young generation will go down the toilet

Yes boys, bloody well played. Didn’t expect that with the raft of changes.
Pretty sure Thomas has never beaten Peter in pro rugby.
Bring on the Shield challenge on Sunday.

Poms or Aussies. He can go wherever he wants if we don't cap him. I reckon he's the perfect lock/six bench player.

@SouthernMann or even France or Japan club rugby. They’d snap up a player like that and pay him decent money

Of course. He is eligible for Australia and England, making those countries potentially quite interested. Just the sort of player the poms love too.

@SouthernMann I know he and a few others had a call from Perpignan offering them a place so it’s already on the cards

That sums up that Otago season that does. It’s definitely a trend now, 3 weeks in a row there’s been a second half collapse. Not good enough at all. Almost managed to pull off a miracle but not quite good enough.
We knew Wellington would be resting majority of starters, Otago should have taken advantage of that and used more starters tonight and rested a few on Sunday been. Credit to Wellington, a lot of young guys played well and deserved it in the end.
Overall it was a good game to watch with positives to take away but at the end of the day it’s another L in the loss column. Disappointing. Can not wait for Donnelly to be gone.

That Avei-Collins looks like a real talent. If he’s anything like his uncle Jerry he’ll have a big future.
-
Disappointing to lose that, with Wellington rolling out a holding side. The partial charge down from Otago way down on the Wellington 22 was a killer. Still some upside. Frustrating when it is clear we could have picked up victories over the last few weeks.

Hopefully we keep him for another contract cycle after this one. Be dissappointing to lose him young

Just a question of who else. What money on Cory Brown getting the job back.
