    It was a perfect storm of brain farts and yips, ioane obviously i his own head all game and Collins (who has been a great captain this season) just not thinking with the call for goal

    Combine that with Southland having everything to play for and there you have it

    jeez Alaimalo lucky there lying on the top of the Otago player there forcing the easy t/o

    I think Alaimalo was lucky to get that ruck turnover too. He made some bloody good front-on tackles in this game though.

    Southland butchered at least 3 tries but it didn't matter in the end.

    I was going to point that one out but thought It might have just been my bias

    He’s been bloody good this year, one shocker does not ruin a career

    Not exactly surrounded by the highlanders let alone the abs

    @Kiwiwomble McDowall got a dubious penalty in the 1st half when he clearly had his hands on the ground first. Lamborn mentioned this to Pickerill too. It's a lottery.

    @Dice Nu’u was a superb pick up by Dale McLeod who has great eye for talent ..full Credit to Southland , apart from the Ta$man game, they have been in every game in the 2020 season , probably should have beaten both Northland and Waikato .
    The irony being , they have beaten the 2 top teams on the Championship ladder both Otago and Hawkes Bay , says a lot about a coach when you don’t have a team loaded with stars , but man don’t they play with heart and a skipper that leads by example ...

    @Kiwiwomble I disagree, this is not his only poor game. This was utter shite, a couple of previous he was poor, and he's also had discipline issues. Not saying he can't sort himself out, but I'd want him nowhere near the ABs this year.

    Fine, we’ll keep him, still rather have him that have him sitting in the stand for the abs

    This isn't his first poor game this year.

    At this level a player with aspirations to play five-eighth for the All Blacks should shine.

    Despite that dubious call I thought McDowall had a very good game.

    Lamborn pushed the boundary too much.

    Hickey played pretty well too.

    @antipodean as I say, happy to keep him playing for Otago

    By far his worst game for a long time but He touched the ball twice leading up to vahakolos try, tiny glimpse of what he can do

    @Bovidae sadly this was Pickerill, so lottery all round...missed quite a bit unfortunately, if he was consistent you could handle it, but he is all over the shop.

    For me the lack of YC with Otago hard on attack and a professional foul and then that shocker near the end with Alaimalo lying on the OTago player stood out...the big ones he missed the other way were more blatant knock ons

    That missed penalty by Josh to tie the game at 18, was like a kick in the guts for Otago. It’s almost as if heads dropped and Southland sniffed opportunity.

    @taniwharugby You could argue that the problems with inconsistency started in the first few minutes when Otago defended the Southland maul. The AR seemed confident there should have been more than just a penalty. Of course, the same AR later used "our" when referring to a Southland player when the handbags happened. 🙂

    Not sure why Canterbury let Ray Nu'u go. He's better than any of the midfielders they have now.

    Nu’u was a major standout in ChCH club rugby for Sydenham for a couple of seasons before he was picked up by Southland ,a lot of Canterbury Fans kept asking why he wasn’t given a chance in the Canterbury mitre 10 squad.
    No surprise to me he is going well wouldn’t be out of place in a SR squad.
    Canterbury has had a set of shit coaches in the last 3 years

    Well done Southland, played awesome.

    Wow, Ioane did a Daugunu eh. In fact he made Daugunu last week look accomplished. He's really gone off the boil, very disappointing.

    Koroi is flaky as, what was that attempted ankle tap?

    No doubting Lamborn's passion and tenacity but he was being a bit of an egg in this game eh. What was with slapping people in the face of they made a mistake in the first half?

    Nu'u does some great stuff but really looks to be lacking pace to make that step up.

    GPT and Eade look like they would make great SR squad players as backup, as does Otago openside.

    @Chris It was bizarre that he was left out in 2018 when he was easily the best in club rugby that year but they decided to go for 2 journeymen in Phil Burleigh and Sam Beard instead which did nothing for them in the long term as they both only lasted the 1 season.
