Match thread

I'm still at a loss why Souchon can start for Otago. Can anyone explain the rules on this?

SouthernMann

Right there was Millar's weakness. Held up and turned over.

He just needs to stick to his strengths and no over play his hand

jimmyb

Fuck that music is annoying!

Torian

This Bartlett guy is bloody good in the carry

Torian

Ffs defense boys at least I won $100 cheers Veveni

Kick, pass, catch and tackle. Never into contact.

jimmyb

That was a very well constructed try. They’re so much more patient and efficient than previous seasons

bayimports

that was a great try, Fine on show

Torian

Cashmore & Fineanganofo such smart players

ACT Crusader

Too compressed by Otago. Nice vision by Cashmore.

Millar is a quality player. His team need to step up and stop turning the ball over.

bayimports

subs are going to be needed by both teams after 30 minutes lol

ACT Crusader

Casey and Lio-Willie everywhere for Otago

ACT Crusader

Pin your ears back Whaanga

ACT Crusader

Judd uses his hands whilst the ball is in the ruck. Williams needs to warn him

ACT Crusader

Brilliant take by Lasaqa, but Otago on the ball quick and win the penalty.

Torian

Lasaqa is everywhere tonight

SouthernMann

They should be. There's two of them!

ACT Crusader

Gassed players on both sides.

jimmyb

Big oli haig is playing well too

ACT Crusader

YC likely.

Joe Wheeler - “looking at the ball”.

He hasn’t played for a while ol Joey

SouthernMann

Not ideal to lose one on that tackle.

Torian

Casey great both sides of the ball as they say

SouthernMann

The duel between Casey and Lasaqa has been great.

Torian

Choc man Jona Nareki such a luxury to have him in our team

ACT Crusader

Otago just getting past that first Bay tackler.

ACT Crusader

Pressure built by Otago.

jimmyb

Otago look fitter and are handling the pace better

Torian

Will Stodart this guy is such a throwback loose forward to the 90s golden era

jimmyb

That was Millar who did that counter ruck. Good on him

ACT Crusader

Nareki chipped way too early

He’s good. Needs to increase his tackle % but he has a lot of potential

SouthernMann

Dumb play before half. Have sucked most of Broomfield's yellow xard though.

Dan54

F*** me I am stuffed. Geez that's what you call playing at pace!!

Definitely showed in the final 10-12 minutes of that half and they were down a man too.

Otago loosies getting the better of their counterparts

Bay backs do have that game breaking ability and have created chances despite some of the forwards with hands on hips.

Excellent game

Cam Millar has been very good. I had never seen him carrying so often.
