@stargazer said in Wellington v Otago:
Geez, that was almost a certain try to Otago! Nutbrown in the way.
Penalty try and Nutbrown into the bin for 10 minutes

@stockcar86 Haha, I'd love to see that!

The fact that Wellington is so good this year proves IMO how shit Earl Va'a was as a coach the past few years. There was always the suspicion that his appointment was due to his family ties with Ken Laban, who is/was on the Wellington board, and Wellington's results this year only add to that suspicion.

Both teams did their best to bottle that last few minutes then the ref finishes it....
