Christie has been awesome again

Was stunned to hear theTV commentary say Coleman is going around next year. He shouldn’t really be going around this year.

Can never underestimate how important core roles of a 7 are. Hits hard and turns ball over

[sparky]

Congratulations to Canterbury. Too good for every other province this year.

[taniwharugby]

Canterbury doing what Canterbury does.

But boy have Otago been good to watch this year.

[Canes4life]

Entertaining game for the most part. Some great skill on display.

I don’t think he has played a poor game all year, for the Saders and then Cantabs.

Congrats Canterbury enjoy tonight deserved winners of the comp, as for us
Dunedin rugby is in a much more postive place thanks to Mark brown and this Otago team. Looking forward to Hurley & Pledger getting big minutes in super

[jimmyb]

Well done Otago. Don’t think they were bad at all and would have beaten any other team today. Canterbury are just better squad and are more experienced. Their pack was insane today and completely negated Otago’s strength.

Still, what a season for Otago. They’ll be better for this

[KiwiMurph]

Tough ask to have to beat the best team in the comp away twice in one season.

Canterbury extremely clinical once they get close to the line in attack. Very impressive.

Otago excellent season and get the Shield over summer as a result

[ACT Crusader]

Was a very even game for the most part but that 15 minutes in the second half we just upped the pressure and really hit holes and dominated the contact. Our back 5 forwards really stood up in that period.

Another excellent NPC season overall.

[Bones]

Fucking hell, had to double take at Chapman playing his 50th... don't recall even hearing of him. 40 games for Ta$man with one try, then bags 5 for Canterbury in one season.

[ACT Crusader]

TUJ was huge for Otago. Emotional finish for the young fella.

[Nepia]

Congrats Canterbury, Death Star was too good this year. Great season by Otago. Good season by my boys The Bay. NPC was fun yet again, imagine if NZR actually cared about it.

@jimmyb ..on your coms just all that collective super experience that have played together in terms of combination especially in numbers 1-8
You have got to give it to the Canterbury forwards that they can lay on platform despite having a tradesman like halfback and first coming back from 7s
Congratulations to Canterbury but so much credit Otago for showing they deserved to be in the final and despite the loss their supporters will have so much to look forward to.
Tom Christie should be player of the Npc imo
Just a word on Christian Lio Willie thought he was outstanding in a beaten team
