Otago v Southland

[SouthernMann]

Strange to see two wingers selected on the bench. Thought Leef may have been picked ahead of Tapueluelu

[Stargazer]

It's a pity that a considerable group in the stadium didn't have the decency to shut up during the moment of silence.

[SouthernMann]

Could be a nice confidence builder for our young backs this game

[SouthernMann]

Average mistake from Faleafaga first up, missing touch.

[Stargazer]

Good, well-deserved try to Southland.

[Mattasaurus]

Go the stags

[ploughboy]

enjoying this game . a great scrap

[Mattasaurus]

How tags 7 wasn't done for playing on his knees...

But loving the fight in the stags

[ploughboy]

what a try

[SouthernMann]

Hell of a good Southland try. They are right into this

[Mattasaurus]

Cracking try... GO THE STAGS

[gt12]

That was a fucking cool move. Was everyone in the right distance… if so get on the phone to Foz

[kev]

Shepherd?

[Mattasaurus]

Stone cold shepherd ...poor miss by official

[SouthernMann]

Great work from big Holland getting that turnover

[KiwiMurph]

Jay Renton has a lovely pass on him

[SouthernMann]

Have Faleafaga, Hurley and Lio-Willie to dot down. More than 2.5 tries in the first half and Otago to win. Come on Hurley and Lio-Willie!

[Mattasaurus]

Loose at the rucks it's just all go...not much being called.

Stags will struggle to come back from here... Stags handling and ball retention has been poor all season so far. Great to see us getting a couple of tried... would like to see Mason in space more ...he's rapid

[SouthernMann]

@Mattasaurus fantastic to see him making a good fist of first class rugby. Otago somewhat ignored him due to his perceived size issues. Which is strange when thinking of our love of Hurley

[Bovidae]

I don't think it's a good look to have a local ref. They should be neutral to avoid any perception of bias.
