I don't know the Timu story. Dunedin?
No, Hamilton. Freemans was one of the names of the bar on the corner of Collingwood and Victoria Sts.
It was after a Waikato-Otago game in the CANZ series, so late 1980s or early 1990s. Timu chatted up a girl whose boyfriend objected and punched him.
I know Freemans in Hamilton ... $1 red wine nights.
But what has that story got to do with Reece's?

Hoping Coltman pings a hamstring so there is no chance he gets to represent in Black this year

How was that not a penalty for deliberate knock down

Because knock down is not a penalty? And anyway, he knocked it up (and forwards).

That one was about as blatant as you see.

@tim crowd not that big,I doubt wether it’s 4,000..
Here’s a legitimate question.
Would it be better to stay in the championship division as the Ranfurly Sheild holders where you would play at least 3 championship teams and 2 Premiership division teams or get promoted to the premiership division and based on what I have seen of the 2 semifinals last week,battle yours arses off to starve off relegation..? -

@stargazer absolutely totally agree,Otago and Hawkes Bay have had their moments in the championship,but Waikato from round 4 have been sensational,be interesting to see if they will go to the market to bolster their roster..!

If you asked me at the start of the year if I would have preferred that Waikato won the RS but stayed in the Championship or got promoted to the Premiership I would take the latter. Losing the RS still grates as Waikato should have won that game. You can bet the first Premiership team selecting an away game vs a Championship team will be taking Otago.
It is disappointing that Gibbes is only here for one season but at least he has had a positive impact. The challenge will be for Waikato to be competitive next season and that will start with the coaches. Continuity is needed so the best option is to promote Randle to head coach and find a replacement backs coach, and keep White as the forwards coach.
Anyway, stoked with the win.
