Otago v Wellington
-
Strong start by Welly. Plenty of x-factor on the park but plenty of inexperience.
-
Hastie has had a strong start. Hope it continues
-
So has finn Hurley
-
@SouthernMann he certainly has
-
Top run from Lucas Casey. Him and Harry Taylor are both quite similar in their styles of play.
-
Harkin is a classy 10, reminds me of Cruden a bit. So much better than JGB.
-
Hurley looking dangerous.
-
Some U13 defence out there
-
Haig is a very hungey lineout caller when he doesn't have the big Dutchman alongside him. Seems to have safely called himself in most of the lineouts.
-
Whaanga isn't a winger. Doesn't have the top end pace. Looks a bit lost in space at the end of the chain. Would be best going going back to centre. Being a target and having players run off him. A bit dumb from our favourite Otago fullback there. Done plenty of good things so far, that was dumb.
-
The Hurley v Solomon match-up is fun to watch.
-
@SouthernMann if it works it works. Though he does have two other line out options in Tucker and Leo Willie
-
Jeez Henry Bell has been having an average season. Can't hit a barndoor throwing wise.
-
Would have preferred the penalty there ref ffs. Was right in front.
Entertaining first half.
-
@SouthernMann also FYI Tucker is calling the lineout today, not Haig
-
@KiwiInLondon Strange, seeing as Haig has been doing it all year and with the Highlanders
-
@SouthernMann no idea but you can see Tucker making the calls. Bells lineout throwing is a worry, particularly when you have Holland back and should have one of the best lineouts in the comp

Out of the three Highlanders hookers for next year, Jack Taylor has been the best performer so far. Other two have been quite average
-
@SouthernMann well they have the potential to have one of the best starting packs in super rugby over the next few years so hopefully they all keep progressing
