    Try to Mataele; converted by Poihipi - according to the commentator, who doesn't seem to know much about the players haha (or at least the Canterbury players).

    28 - 14 Otago

    Edit: according to the Canterbury twitter page, the commentator had the names right.

    I didn't see this one coming. He and Messam will take the average age up.

    @bovidae I've the impression that several players who played for Samoa and Tonga the past few weeks, will end up playing NPC (as far as they don't have continuing contracts overseas). Might be playing for a spot in the Moana Pasifika squad, if not already signed.

    Full time: Otago 28 - 21 Canterbury

    So a game of two halves, with Otago dominating the first, and Canterbury dominating the second half.

    @stargazer Yeah, could be the case. Like Messam, Lam will add experience to the squad. I'll wait to see the full squad to know which loose forwards have missed out. There are some young players who I hope are given a chance.

    @chris Who's this Dan Fransen in the Canterbury squad? What's his preferred position? Is he any good, or more squad filler? How old?

    A quick google tells me that he plays for Sydenham and has had two seasons playing for Mid-Canterbury. Also has played sevens, including for the NZ Development team. His last name sounds like he has Dutch heritage.

    @yeetyaah Lam was really good when he played for Waikato and the Canes, but that was 7 years ago. I didn't see much of him at Bristol, and now he is in Japan. I could see him being used off the bench to cover 6/7/8.
