Smart play from Koroi to draw in the 2 defenders.

Collins is playing well.

He never did this for the Blues. Well done Otago - he's looking good. Great vision.

Started to look dangerous in SRA for the Highlanders earlier this year.

When was the last time Canterbury were relegated?

[nzzp]

Shot of the coaching boxes. Quite different.

Canterbury shaking heads alreay

[ACT Crusader]

Not a great kick from the Otago halfback.

[chimoaus]

That was a shit kick from Ioane

A league touch finder

[chimoaus]

I know all hookers do it but he was literally standing inside the line when he threw that in.

[nzzp]

how good a game is this???

[ACT Crusader]

Sums up our season. Passes not going to hand and then bundled into touch.

[nzzp]

@ACT-Crusader spot on. Should have tied it at the end getting the ball and a penalty within the 22. Team not what it was.

[ACT Crusader]

Well done Otago. Drought over.

Why didn't Canterbury contest that last lineout?

Never.

Plenty of questions this season that start with those 3 words.

Hopefully these young guys are learning hard lessons from this that we can build something for next season.

There were some class moments from Otago tonight.

The number of breakdown turnovers / penalties seemed really high.

Who was the ref? He was pretty quick on the old whistle with some of them.

I think that is known as the Thorne effect

[KiwiMurph]

@ACT-Crusader Pickerall. Definitely known for being quick to the whistle.

I think Otago's first try should have been a penalty for Canterbury as the Otago player ripped it while the Cantab had been tackled and knees were on the ground.

Was very quick on a couple of not releasing calls, then let a couple others go.
