Buff

Is Dylan Nel injured or just being rested? I'm not familiar with Sam Fischli, any good?

like Hickey i think it must just be rest, he's had a big workload and now with Slade back he can take a break, unconfirmed though

no idea on Fischli

Bench only has seven players?

Brodie McAlister returns from injury for the first time this season, while tighthead prop Oli Jager is also back.

Both openside specialists Tom Christie and Billy Harmon starts, pushing Prinsep to No 8.

Looks like he has to start when there is no room on the bench for him.

Tomkinson hasn't been working on his passing during suspension going by that effort.

Good start from Manu. Classy offload, hitting hard in defence etc

Great defence from Otago during that period.

We’re a bit panicky out there.

Some nice play but lacking that finishing ability.

taniwharugby

silly decision to run that

WTF is all this talk about attitude, it's almost as important as aura the way they go on about it.

@chimoaus it's like momentum right?

chimoaus
