@duluth said in Otago v Taranaki:
Wilson should be in the commentary box for Test matches
I thought he was moaning too much at times like the pie eater in the RS game.
I'd be happy if the Chiefs do sign Walden as he is an accurate, solid player.

He started whining a bit after I posted that.
He’s still far far better than Marshall at the expert comments role. I can’t think of anyone on the sky payroll who is better at it (Parsons has potential)

@yeetyaah said in Otago v Taranaki:
The card seemed just though eh? You can't jump across and he's been lifted directly across and impacted the player in the air. Dunno why the Otago 6 packed the shits and walked off before the ref talked to him properly.
I thought they were shoulder to shoulder so if Otago crossed the line so did Taranaki…or it wasn’t straight
And my understanding is you can’t play the man in the air…not contact him, jumpers contact each other all the time, I think the ref let the result influence how he saw what happened
Watching the replay I’d say his front lifter just backing off and letting him go had the most effect on things
That said we just don’t look right, not like a settled team at all, a bit depressing really, probably a just final result
@Frank looked out for him as had never noticed him before, very solid on defence and the naki scrum was solid which im sure he played a roll in, I thought both Otago locks had as much if not more presence around the park if I’m honest, but that’s one game and I’m an Otago supporter…

I heard a rumour the landers wanted him back

How did future All Black Josh Lord go?
I don't think Lord was used as a lineout target at all in the 1st half as Hoeata and Sowakula were the main options. It was only once Hoeata went off injured that Taranaki changed their lineout calls.
