Otago v Waikato

@Bovidae

Is Ratima covering other positions?

Lots of 9, 10, wing options

Who covers a midfield injury? One of the starting wingers? (I don’t know much about them)

[Bovidae]

@Duluth
Tuhakaraina is a centre and started there against Southland.

I assume Leiua is rested or injured, and Coombes-Fabling and Cook-Savage banged up. Ratima went to the wing on Wed night.

Surprised that Sinkinson is available.

Injuries force multitude of changes

Otago has dredged up a team with an emphasis on scooping up what was left. A rough run of injuries has forced coach Tom Donnelly to think...

[Yeetyaah]

Terrible call

[Duluth]

Great defence from Lam

[Yeetyaah]

Waikato props having a mare

[Yeetyaah]

So many dumb mistakes

[Duluth]

McKenzie has had a sloppy few minutes. Gifting possession back to Otago

[Yeetyaah]

@Duluth oh mate Waikato have been awful for the last 10 mins

[Yeetyaah]

Fuck sake why do we have a 9 covering wing off the bench. Fucking useless.

[Yeetyaah]

Shit game, Waikato fucked themselves in the final 15. 3 games in 10 days, reset and go again next week.

A win is a win. An ugly win, gives just enough points as a ripper. Take it and fight for a top four spot.

Just 4 points behind Hawkes Bay.

Otago have Manawatu away then Canterbury in Dunedin

HB have BOP away, then host Ta$man

[SouthernMann]

Otago should get five points against Manawatu. Then the pressure will be on HB

[ploughboy]

thanks otago that kick in the arce will put us in a good headspace for the ranfurly sheild challenge

I thought they did alright especially against a more fancied side like the Mooloo. A few of the forwards stepped up.

[cgrant]

Given the number of unavailable players, this is a good win for Otago.

Just watched the game on mysky, I'm so proud!
