Canterbury v Otago
-
i'd love if we could grab a win and Canterbury arent exactly firing on all cylinders this year...but we always find winning in chch tough
-
-
Some beaut games this weekend, this one and Auckland v Waikato (I think Auckland are at home)
The way Canterbury got tuned up in Tauranga, you would have to think they will be like a cornered animal this weekend? especially at home. Is that three losses in a row for them?
-
@Bovidae Virtually won Auckland the title that year. We wouldn't have beat Canterbury in the final otherwise.
No reason why Otago can't win. This Canterbury team is awful, so if they're gonna get a win in Chch, this is the perfect time to do it.

@Kiwiwomble Otago have a tough run in, with Canterbury, Southland in Invers and then Ta$man in Dunedin, I reckon Southland have a nice run in to make the top 4.
-
@taniwharugby yeah, we need to take the same approach as you might during a tight game, take the points on offer
if we play it safe, dont throw the ball around too much, try and keep close to these teams, make them work for it, just try and secure the playoffs

From his comments, Dale MacLeod is targeting their last 3 games by resting so many players against Ta$man.

Don’t choke Otago...😉
Massive week for this young Canterbury side to try and bounce back from a good old fashion pasting.
Would love to see a couple of combinations improve.
-
Vilimoni Koroi, Freedom Vahaakolo, Josh Timu, Sio Tomkinson, Jona Nareki, Josh Ioane, Kayne Hammington, Nasi Manu, Slade McDowall, Sam Fischli, Josh Dickson, Will Tucker, Josh Hohneck, Liam Coltman, Jamie Mackintosh. Reserves: Ricky Jackson, Jonah Aoina, Hisa Sasagi, Jack Regan, Sione Misiloi, James Arscott, Michael Collins, Charles Elton.
everyone back avaliable, giving some of the guys a run off the bench, dont know if its a rest of an attempt to finish strong, not sure on Captain, coltman probably
Backline trio returns for Otago
A threatening trio return for Otago on Friday night. Josh Ioane, Vilimoni Koroi and Sio Tomkinson will all line-up in the backline as the team...
-
Is Dylan Nel injured or just being rested? I'm not familiar with Sam Fischli, any good?

like Hickey i think it must just be rest, he's had a big workload and now with Slade back he can take a break, unconfirmed though
no idea on Fischli

Brodie McAlister returns from injury for the first time this season, while tighthead prop Oli Jager is also back.
Both openside specialists Tom Christie and Billy Harmon starts, pushing Prinsep to No 8.
Looks like he has to start when there is no room on the bench for him.
