Otago v Wellington (non-competition game)

[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.

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.

[Steven Harris]

Wonder if Wellington have another get out of jail free card ..?

[Stargazer]

@steven-harris They really don't deserve the win.

[mikey07]

I feel sorry for MP picking up Alosio as he offers nothing and is greedy as anything.

[Steven Harris]

@stargazer i agree,they are all the over the shop

[Steven Harris]

Deserved win to Otago ,made more impressive with some boys that were spotted at the under Super rugby tournament this year

[Stargazer]

Hmm, that off-the-ball push from the Otago player on Love. I really hate it when players do that. Ref should have reversed the penalty IMO.
Instead it's a penalty goal to Millar.

Full time: Otago 33 - 28 Wellington

They did make the decision to sign him, though

Just watched the highlights, koroi looked like he was limping for most of the second half, any words on an injury ?
