Otago v Wellington (non-competition game)

[Stargazer]

Thompson on for O'Reilly.

[Stargazer]

How did Faddes and Koroi butcher that try? Good defence from the Wellington players near the try line, but only after shit defence in Otago's half.

Should be a red card for Withy. Looked like his shoulder made straight contact with the head (not the shoulder as ref says).

[Stargazer]

It's a red! Such a shame, because that probably rules him out for the remainder of Otago's season.

It took a while, but Goosen finally off for a HIA.

[Toddy]

That's a deserved red. Deserved an old school red to not just 20 minutes (not that it makes a lot of difference at this stage).

@stargazer I’m surprised they haven’t put us away yet that’s two butchered tries

[Stargazer]

@toddy Yep, it was redder than red! The young lad will learn from it, I hope.

[Stargazer]

Another penalty goal to Millar. Not a bad game from the rookie thus far.

23 - 14 Otago

[Stargazer]

2, 4 and 9 Otago replaced.

[Steven Harris]

What a ball from JGB..!

[Stargazer]

Very good try to Whitman. Otago left a very big hole in their defensive line and he easily went through it.
Conversion Love is good.

23 - 21 Otago

Goosen not coming back on, so probably failed his HIA.

Otago 6 back on for the no. 8.

[mikey07]

Nice try about time JGB did something good

[Steven Harris]

@stargazer is he the most relaxed kicker around..?

[Stargazer]

Ouch. Gilbert off for a HIA. Copped Whitman's arm/shoulder(?) when he went down to score the try.

[Stargazer]

Awesome try to Fabian Holland. Too easy.

[Stargazer]

He's taller than the pads around the sticks!

Millar converts.

30 - 21 Otago

[Steven Harris]

Fabien Holland at 2.06 metres must the tallest lock running around in the NPC..good pace for a big man

[Stargazer]

@steven-harris Same as Dom Bird.

[Steven Harris]

Terrible option from Koroi with the unneeded kick

[Stargazer]

Good individual try to Patafilo. Love converts.

30 - 28 Otago with about 5 minutes to go.

[Stargazer]

Gilbert back on. Passed his HIA.
He's been the best on the field IMO.
