Otago v Wellington

[SouthernMann]

Haig is a very hungey lineout caller when he doesn't have the big Dutchman alongside him. Seems to have safely called himself in most of the lineouts.

[SouthernMann]

Whaanga isn't a winger. Doesn't have the top end pace. Looks a bit lost in space at the end of the chain. Would be best going going back to centre. Being a target and having players run off him. A bit dumb from our favourite Otago fullback there. Done plenty of good things so far, that was dumb.

The Hurley v Solomon match-up is fun to watch.

[KiwiInLondon]

@SouthernMann if it works it works. Though he does have two other line out options in Tucker and Leo Willie

[SouthernMann]

Jeez Henry Bell has been having an average season. Can't hit a barndoor throwing wise.

[Canes4life]

Would have preferred the penalty there ref ffs. Was right in front.

Entertaining first half.

[KiwiInLondon]

@SouthernMann also FYI Tucker is calling the lineout today, not Haig

[SouthernMann]

@KiwiInLondon Strange, seeing as Haig has been doing it all year and with the Highlanders

[KiwiInLondon]

@SouthernMann no idea but you can see Tucker making the calls. Bells lineout throwing is a worry, particularly when you have Holland back and should have one of the best lineouts in the comp

Out of the three Highlanders hookers for next year, Jack Taylor has been the best performer so far. Other two have been quite average

[KiwiInLondon]

@SouthernMann well they have the potential to have one of the best starting packs in super rugby over the next few years so hopefully they all keep progressing

[SouthernMann]

Great try Wellington. Dog shit play from Otago

[KiwiInLondon]

Tucker has not had a good start back from injury

[Landers92]

Otago really needed to just take the 3 points there. 2mins into the second half and only up by 1 point. Really not worth that risk and they paid the max for it.

[KiwiInLondon]

@Landers92 they don’t have the cool calm and collected head in the team. One of their biggest issues

[Landers92]

And we kick the ball away for a cross field after 20 phases. Baffling. A classic otago second half looks to be carrying on for the third week in a row

[KiwiInLondon]

Get Miller on now please. I think we all know why AJ hasn’t been playing now

[Landers92]

Hands down the worst I’ve seen Abraham Pole play. Weak attempt at a tackle

[Canes4life]

Wellington starting to rumble. Higgins classy again with the break. Ieremia finishes it off.

[KiwiInLondon]

These fringe players from Otago have really been found out this game
