Nareki vs Kneepkens. Should be interesting.

Otago's rookie try-scoring machine excites Josh Ioane as team named for Ranfurly Shield challenge

If Otago are to have any chance of bringing the Ranfurly Shield back to Dunedin this weekend, it would be hard to imagine Josh Ioane not playing a big part.

This could be a very intriguing match. Naki forward pack look stronger, but that Otago backline could be a real handful with half decent ball.

[Kiwiwomble]

We just need to keep our defence up for the whole game, manawatu found plenty of holes late in the game last week

[Yeetyaah]

Up the Bulls

[Stargazer]

Up the Razorbacks.

[taniwharugby]

that should have been a penalty for that Otago player playing the ball in fornt of the player that knocked it on

[taniwharugby]

great fact Kamo!

Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens was running sideline cable for Sky Sports last season!!

[taniwharugby]

36th min, Otago up 15-5, apparently a decent breeze at thier back

[antipodean]

Taranaki could do with some All Blacks...

[taniwharugby]

20-5, kick to come... @Kiwiwomble dont be so quiet

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean almost like losing them has been a bit disruptive

[Kiwiwomble]

Bloody daylight savings!!

[Kiwiwomble]

I’ve been mucking around doing chores so I could site down and watch the game!

[Kiwiwomble]

Ryan Martin with the half time summary to beat them all

[Yeetyaah]

@Kiwiwomble I did wonder why you weren't here.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Yeetyaah wife just said...”I was going to remind you it was daylight saving in nz”

[taniwharugby]

@Kiwiwomble it's the thought that counts aye!!

[Stargazer]

Oh no, Walden injured.
