Canterbury v Otago

[Higgins]

@Buff said in Otago v Canterbury:

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.

@Buff
Jeez that's a poor Canterbury side.

[KiwiMurph]

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

[Yeetyaah]

Nareki...

[Duluth]

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

[Yeetyaah]

Great defence from Otago during that period.

[taniwharugby]

looked like a try was scored but Cantabs carried on and blew it

[ACT Crusader]

We’re a bit panicky out there.

Some nice play but lacking that finishing ability.

[taniwharugby]

silly decision to run that

[chimoaus]

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

[nzzp]

@chimoaus it's like momentum right?

[chimoaus]

@nzzp or natural talent.

[chimoaus]

Has Ian Smith been spending too much time smoking and gambling instead of sipping honey tea?

[Yeetyaah]

Christ how many forward passes are we gonna see

[taniwharugby]

@Yeetyaah been alot this season!!

[Yeetyaah]

Nasi Manu looks good. Super rugby worthy?

[taniwharugby]

messy passage of play there, but results in an Otago try

[taniwharugby]

I reckon that shoulda been a penalty for that rip

[chimoaus]

Poor ball retention and poor offloads seem to be a feature of both sides.

Just the one useful comment from me.

Love the way Drummond always has to pull his angry tough guy face when he scores.
