Auckland v Otago

@Kiwiwomble said in Auckland v Otago:

some interesting selections, Lentjes on the bench for example, very young team

All those co-captains is unusual - Pole/Withy/Lentjes

Just name the whole 23 as co-captains, then they can all complain to the ref

[Grooter]

@Duluth where does it say Pole is co captain?

[Grooter]

@Kiwiwomble Freedom to score the match winner in his home city 🤞

Dalzell and Vest are locks we should be able to replace with better players.

Will be interesting to see how Te Ariki Te Puni goes.

As a 13 wing surely he's better than Ennor

[Grooter]

Freedom Try 🙏

[Stargazer]

Don't think it was obstruction. Auckland player just ran into the Otago player. Was milking it.

[Stargazer]

Try stands. Correct decision.

Auckland pack dominating.
