Otago v BoP

[Landers92]

Great first half of rugby from both teams. 14-14.

BOP extremely dangerous in the wide channels with Carter and Vai’i. Narawa a handful as well. Big second half coming up!

In Thailand and can’t watch the game. Who’s playing well for Otago?

As a Steamers fan - the refereeing team

[Landers92]

@KiwiInLondon Stodart has been impressive with strong carries. Hurley and Haig look good. Ma’u has been man of the match for me for Otago.

[Landers92]

Cody Vai is an absolute talent. Every time he touches the ball something happens. Great try for the BOP hooker.

[KiwiPie]

Kolose only playing because Eklund ruled out after warmup. Looks very talented

[Landers92]

BOP have gone up a gear and starting to look like Otago have run out of ideas. Going to need some spark from somewhere if we are to make a game of this. If BOP score next it could blow out

[Landers92]

Hopefully that’s the spark we needed! Big play TUG

[Grooter]

Oli Haig this guy has it in spades

[KiwiInLondon]

@Grooter anyone who doesn’t think that kid is legitimately amazing is mad

[Landers92]

What a win. Absolutely massive performance. Good way to end the Sunday. Haig and Ma’u were immense. Hopefully builds some more confidence going into another big game against Taranaki next weekend.

By geez mate, you must be rightfully stoked, that was a great game to watch, and I lost the neutral bit of me as Otago boys came rolling back and was yehaaing etc as they did it.
I will say what I said after last week, Jamie Joseph will be sleeping fairly well with the young talent in Oatgo/Southland.
Meant to be away nest weekend, but because wife has broken leg, we not going ,so means I will be at Yarrow's stadium for the Naki game. I will honestly say I not as confident about result for Naki as I was a week or so ago!!
I do love this competition so bloody much!!

I've been a massive fan of Oli Haig since Highlanders U20s and he continues to impress. Lineout target, great in the open. Just a perfect blindside. We just don't want to lose him to Aus or England

[SouthernMann]

Also good to see @frugby was incorrect with his 0/6 prediction. No, i won't let this go.

Bloody band on Southern, geez I hope we hold him, there is something about him, he just does his job so well without seeming to ne flashy or anything!

[Windows97]

A typical diamonds and rocks game from the BOP, diamonds on attack and rocks (not the good kind) on defence. Well played Otago however, a very entertaining game!

[bayimports]

Ahh losing to the colour stealers is a little deflating, especially when we were throwing intercepts like crazy. However we were not the better team and there was some pretty cool attacking rugby by both sides in there as well. So well done Otago
Hopefully we didn't peak week 2 lol!

You may have existed first but without a colour photograph as proof of official colours at that point of time, its all lies
