Otago v Southland

@stargazer said in Otago v Southland:
@cgrant Prop out of Otago Boys HS. Was part of the 2017 NZ Schools team; he came off the bench in two of their 3 games in the 16 jersey. He's the cousin of former Otago hooker Sekonaia Pole.
He's not an Otago squad member, so I assume he's part of the development team (can't find the squad list of that team).
He's there as injury/national team cover, along with Tevita Pole (who I imagine is his brother/cousin too?). So if Bower remains with the All Blacks, he could end up as part of the squad fulltime.

Only a couple of minutes in and faddes and vahaakolo seem to be a bit confused, popping up in each other’s positions

Nareki looks sore. ACL maybe.
Winced just seeing the look on his face
-
Jeez three guys off injured, two being our main strike weapons
Ioane failed HIA
-
Ricky Jackson had been throwing some great line outs, hitting the back pretty constant
-
Stags ripped off with what should have been a forward pass from the halfback off the lineout set piece..should have been a scrum to the stags ,poor from the officials
-
Gilbert looking very comfortable at 15 and koroi distributing better that ioane was
-
I was really hoping with so many of our first sting back this would be a bit of a statement win…13 all after 50mins
-
Southland showing some ticker
-
Smart code from the stags .Banks a superb pick up
-
@steven-harris attempted drop goal from 42m when the forwards were making good meters is a bit of a brain explosion
-
@kiwiwomble just trying to keep the score board ticking and if it misses they stay on attack..I thought Otago with this roster would be far to good ,but it’s been a good contest
-
That forward pass was gold ,Koroi should be in the NFL lol

Bit hard when you loose three starters in the first 10 minutes

Once again sio has been invisible…will 100% start next week
Lucky to get over the line in the end, draw would have been fair
