think this match is Blake Hohaia's 50th, which, despite what I think of him as a player is still something to celebrate, lets hope the lads put on a show to celebrate.

@African-Monkey No Problem , one thing is fact NZ Rugby is still paying him , from a Northland piece I’m wrapt that he’s giving a bit back to the Taniwha before he heads to France.
It’s a shame that he’s only ever played around 15 games for the union, he got the Blazer which is a good thing.
Corey Evans who tried to get a release from Auckland this year will be a very handy replacement for Jack in 2024 along with another current Auckland back.

I'm very disappointed John isn't starting at 15, and J N Other ten.

[SouthernMann]

What an absolutely dire crowd.

[KiwiMurph]

Marvelous try

[SouthernMann]

Good kick from Faleafaga to setup that first try.

[SouthernMann]

Arscott is rubbish. Don't know why he keeps on getting picked ahead of Hastie

[SouthernMann]

Otago just demolishing the Northland scrum!

[taniwharugby]

when did refs stop pinging players for going off feet beyond the ball, dont often see it pinged these days and just encourages people flying in unbound.

[taniwharugby]

not given chance to place it, but no cleaners either

[KiwiMurph]

In creating a list in my head of fullbacks I would rather have in the ABs than Beauden I would add Sam Gilbert.

He can kick the ball a long way and can goal kick.

He can kick the ball a long way

you had me at that

[KiwiMurph]

A minties moment for young Leslie

[Stargazer]

Oops, Leslie won't want to see the replay of that kick and following try.

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer one for his dad....

[taniwharugby]

great continuity by OTago but matched by Northland defence

Dance of the desperates.

Got heat for this, but feeling like this was a fair call. This is a game being played between two fairly dire outfits in terms of output.

[taniwharugby]

@frugby so happy for you
