[taniwharugby]

@Nepia ref is pretty lax with both sides holding, off feet, wide bent gate

Definitely.

We can't defend for shit. I hope we get a defence coach in the off season.

I've aged 3 years during this game.

Phew, another lucky let off with Otago dropping the ball forward right on the HB line, albeit helped by a coiuple of non calls at the ruck for not releasing on one instance and not rolling away from the HB side right at the start of the break.

[taniwharugby]

@Higgins not to mention that half the team was offside....but adds to the flow of the game and ref is reasonably consistent

[Higgins]

He's called that for not five metres. Surely the correct call would be for the early lift of the Otago player?

[Stargazer]

Great kick!

[Nepia]

Was Fomai injured?

[Higgins]

@taniwharugby Yeah, it has been end to end stuff. Real spring weather rugby for want of a better description, just a bit hard for an old person's heart to take!

[Nepia]

Not straight!!!!

Even you neutrals would have seen that @taniwharugby ?

[Stargazer]

@Nepia The commentators said he had been limping for a while.

[Higgins]

Damn, held up. Would have been a well deserved forward try. Still HB put in for the five yard scrum.

[taniwharugby]

@Nepia haha yea...my stream is about 40 sec behind

Cheers, he's been on fire lately ... wonder why it took him so long to come through.

[KiwiMurph]

Great grubber Collins...

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer wait until later tonight..lol

[Nepia]

We need to go for a try, we can't defend 3.
