    @kiwiwomble well Otago look like they are building nicely whereas 'naki look to have dropped off thier earlier form.

    That Otago team from the 90s absolutely typifies the "golden period" of NZ Domestic rugby for me. Talent everywhere, heaving 'brook, Shield heartbreak, awesome rugby to watch.

    @mariner4life yeah, lots of teams and sports talk about a "golden generation" but there are few better examples of a true one

    Even those finals in the 2000's i feel we were starting to punch above our weight...but there was some great rigby played in the 90's

    I have to say i start to feel a similar vibe to when the black caps play the aussies...more often than not it seems to be a bridge too far

    @taniwharugby Taranaki won't be lacking motivation to have an unbeaten season. I'm not saying that Otago can't win, as they did take the RS the last time they played there.

    @bovidae especially after that article that said they were dirty about no promotion, like they would walk it 😉

    Great try by the Naki. Faddes was a bit lost in that phase

    Otago missed ten tackles in the first 15mins

    They should be happy it’s one try each

    Good pace J Ioane

    Feels like Taranaki should have a bigger lead

    Naki 17-12

    Those HT highlights show just how bad Faddes has been on defense.

    Probably just hoping it went dead but more likely almost his entire life with one set and a more recent change to a new rule

    Naki very much earn their lead, we’re definitely guilty of not converting when dominant on attack

    Has Florence signed a super contract? I liked him when he came in as injury cover for the highlander last year I think, seems a big fast open side

    @kiwiwomble The Blues should have signed him to complete our set of Gingers.
