Wellington vs Otago
-
So 4 new starters in the forwards. Numia both locks and Delany played on Wednesday)
5 new starters in the backs. Pepesana Patafilo and Love played in both
Unsure how this will affect the team. Especially Numia who have put in long shifts both on Wednesday and last Saturday. But also Bird and Delany that both played all three games.
I thought the midfield went well last week so surprised Higgins isn't in the reserves. Rather than have selected 2 wings. Although both starting wings have played in the midfield at times (Pepesana esp looked good at center) and Proctor has played 2nd 5. Assume also that Love could slot in at 2nd

@FakatavaAllBlack yeah he's been a beast aye. For such a young lad he's made mince meat of some of his more senior opponents this year. Wouldn't mind seeing Lakai team up with Ardie Savea in the Canes this year.
Agree. I hope Canes hang onto him. I would also like to see him have a run at 7 to see how he goes but unlikely to happen at Wellington unless both 7s (Halalilo and Kirifi) are out.

Looked like a hamstring injury (he was icing his hammy).

So Dom Bird got a yellow in the 44th minute (before HT) and he's already back on in the 49th minute? Yellows aren't 10 minutes anymore? This is not the first game where I've noticed this.
Edit: I don't have another explanation than that Sky has re-set the clock on screen.
