The pressure Otago is putting on Bop at breakdown is relentless

yep being killed in this area

jimmyb

Was very satisfying seeing Haig back to form

SouthernMann

Oli Haig has well and truly outplayed Ah Kuoi

Torian

Sub Nareki off Hurry up coach brown

ACT Crusader

Nareki has had an excellent game but he has also spent a bit of time slow to get to his feet.

Get him off.

@bayimports definitely getting outplayed but as an impartial your not getting a lot of love from Williams , just seen a blatant side entry by the home team totally ignored

SouthernMann

Mark Brown learning his lesson from last week. Not taking his best players off.

Torian

Finn Hurley the kid is back!

jimmyb

Also Broomfield needs more love. He’s been great the second half of the season

ACT Crusader

Enjoy the game fellas because I reckon tomorrow’s game is going to be a defensive slog

Torian

@jimmyb yes Jae he's a fine winger I'm glad Canterbury ignored him 🙂

Feel for Taine Kolose in an ideal world he would've been just impact tonight sigh Ta$man

What are we being blamed for now? 🙂

The report say Eklund got kicked in the face by his team mate, Cashmore.

If you'd like to make a deposit to the "I'm sorry Ta$man fund", we usually stipulate a minimum of $50K because we pay our admin staff very well!

As long as the Bay win by 3-0 I don't care how much of a defensive slog it is. (I'm not too confident we can bring down the Death Star though).

But great to have this enjoyable game to watch this weekend.

SouthernMann

Let's go Hawke's Bay!

ACT Crusader

Finn looks to have done a calf or hammy

If the ABXV was picked tomorrow those two might be swapped over.

Torian

We can live without dazzling Finn but if Millar isn't avaliable it's real tough

Potential injuries to Millar, TUJ, Hurley, Nareki. That is a lot

bayimports

A couple of mins to go but last rites already issued. Well done Otago..

take it forward and win next week

What’s happened to Millar? I had to turn off and pay attention to work

Incorrect about Nareki. He looks fine.

Comms said HIA

He’s from Gore, he won’t have many brain cells. He’ll be fine

Nepia

Well done Otago, in the first half I thought Of Plenty were going to run away with it as they seem to make metres at will on the left edge. Then Otago started making metres at will from all over the park.

SouthernMann

Finn Hurley is looking very uncomfortable

ACT Crusader

Nareki finished strong.

Millar HIA so hopefully he passes.

Finn goneski I reckon.

Umaga-Jensen looked worst for wear

jimmyb

The tight five from Otago did well to negate the BoP scrum. Thought it was going to be a real problem

Dan54

That will do me for a semi final folks. Bloody loved it!

frugby

My judgement was they will all be fine except Hurley. Large just cramps, jars etc. Millar ran off and looked confused.

Hurley looked like a twisted ankle… maybe ligaments but he could put some weight on it

Torian

@frugby cheers, sorta in disbelief we weren't meant to make the final, all the Rugby scribes were predicting David Havili & Blackadders crew to be there at the business end, I thank Razor for giving us Lio-Willie back on loan I also have to thank Northland for sending Casey down it's just all coming up glorious for this once again Mighty Otago Union 🙌

jimmyb

That first 60mins was probably the best rugby I’ve seen an Otago or highlanders side play for a long long time

Good game, few beers: a pledger to watch.

ARHS

Well done Otago. Very hungry all night. Very disappointed by Bop. Nowhere near their best. Ruck clean out was poor. I am not a fan of Cashmores kick and pass execution. Often seem rushed and without direction to me. But he will get better. Lalomilo usually not such a turnstile on defence either. Wonder if some guys were carrying injuries.

Cam Millar was most impressive. Really don't get why Highlanders fans so keen to have him gone.
