Otago v Auckland
-
Awesome work from Whaanga. Shit Gilbert just can't move laterally. Has to stop to change direction.
-
Gilbert's complete inability to move at pace, like a top quality rugby player cost us that try.
-
Unbelievable try saver by Lam, credit where credit is due.
Funaki going off is huge.

Yeah great from Lam. Gilbert is still a carthorse and can only run straight though.
-
Tanielu Tele'a's inputs are always positive so far in the NPC.

Plays like a person with half his physical traits.

Such a weird player. If you list his physical attributes and skills, you'd say shit we have the golden goose. Then you see him play and think WTF.

Have I mentioned I don't like this "can't play the halfback" rule?

So what is the actual rule? When can you touch the halfback?
Roigard is going to have a field day when he returns.

Impressed with Hurley to qrap up Ioane after initially getting beaten

My understanding is there's a cone of invincibility of a metre at each ruck for halfbacks where they can't be touched.
Fuck knows why.

Ffs just another pointless rule being introduced.

Such a terrible rule. Would love to know if these guys who decide to give these the go ahead has ever played the game. This is just being trialed at the moment right? It’s only going to increase the penalty rate and cause more confusion at ruck time than there already is.

Ma'u, Holland, Haig, TUJ and Whaanga been the best for Otago so far. Some nice play from Coltman and Hurley at times too.
