@trooa He's at the Comm Games at the moment, he may not be released to play NPC

wait why isn't Tony Lamborn with the Stags this year?

He got red carded in the HB Club semifinals and might have got a decent sized suspension that should count him out for at least six games.

[trooa]

@OleOleOle That was my initial thinking but bop have 7s players signed for post CF. Good pickup for any team who has injuries early.

damn, what did he do?

[Higgins]

@Kiwiwomble He got cleaned out in a ruck situation and when the cleaner outer was trapped, and defenseless, in the same ruck let fly with a flurry of punches to the trapped players upper body. I was a bit further down the field and only saw the all in brawl that followed so am relying on what those that were right alongside the incident have told me.

Otago currently 14-5 up over Canterbury after 20 mins

[Kiwiwomble]

21-5 after 30 mins

@Kiwiwomble nice , I'm such a tragic that I'll watch the stream on replay later even tho I'll know the score🙂

[SouthernMann]

Has been a pretty good game of rugby so far.

[Kiwiwomble]

[Grooter]

@Kiwiwomble awesome! If our midfield pairing can stay fit I foresee great things

@Kiwiwomble classic Cantab comeback, lucky it was only preseason🙂next Saturday should be exciting, Jona Nareki looks like he hasn't lost much of a step

[Bovidae]

Did both teams make wholesale changes at HT? Often these games can be a reflection of who is on the field in each half.

The Cantab starting XV was pretty strong going by this
