Jamie Spowart
Good to see Spowart getting a gig . After playing club for Pakuranga this season he might have hoped for a place with Auckland.

so, i'll be at my club game (lockdowns permitting) on sat and then at the pub for the AB's....do i try and stay off my phone and watch Otago when i get home or try and watch on my phone on the sideline?

Who is Abraham Pole ?

[Kiwiwomble]

@cgrant he’s a prop

[Stargazer]

@cgrant Prop out of Otago Boys HS. Was part of the 2017 NZ Schools team; he came off the bench in two of their 3 games in the 16 jersey. He's the cousin of former Otago hooker Sekonaia Pole.

He's not an Otago squad member, so I assume he's part of the development team (can't find the squad list of that team).

Club day, wearing my Dunedin jersey in melbourne

He's there as injury/national team cover, along with Tevita Pole (who I imagine is his brother/cousin too?). So if Bower remains with the All Blacks, he could end up as part of the squad fulltime.

Only a couple of minutes in and faddes and vahaakolo seem to be a bit confused, popping up in each other’s positions

[Yeetyaah]

Heeeeaps of vocal Southland supporters in the crowd. Great to see.

[Yeetyaah]

Nareki looks sore. ACL maybe.

Chanting 'you fucked up' whilst Nareki looks to have wrecked his knee. Smart bunch....

Winced just seeing the look on his face

[Yeetyaah]

@kiwimurph yeah that was a bit shit

[Dice]

Weak effort by the new Otago winger.

[Kiwiwomble]

Jeez three guys off injured, two being our main strike weapons

Ioane failed HIA

[Kiwiwomble]

Ricky Jackson had been throwing some great line outs, hitting the back pretty constant
