    I am looking forward to Dylan Pledger being our Highlanders and Otago halfback. So much talent. I know he's only in his first year out of school, I just hope he can get some gametime in the blue and gold this year.

    Rico Simpson is the youngest player in the squad

    Rico is still only 18 for another six months. He looks all long arms and legs right now, and does look ungainly sometimes when he runs. He definitely needs to loose that one handed Colin Meads carry. He gets great distance with his kicks. I think he just needs to grow into those long limbs. -

    Was a handy basketballer as an Otago junior rep player.

    @Daffy-Jaffy I rate Simpson and named-dropped him when watching him play live as a Y12 to be a future NZ-age group player. He'll get better with time. What I like about Rico is that he is a totally different profile from the 1st 5s that have come through the NZ system over the past 10-15 years (tall rather than short).

    And the celebration after the winning penalty.

    Liam Jack and Andrew Smith made a mess of the French line out. Tuivailala is a solid unit in the midfield. I hope we will watch him during the NPC with Waikato. Impressed by Letiu when he came in off the bench. For the first time in years, we saw both hookers throwing with accuracy. Good point.

    Couldn’t agree more mate. What an absolute talent. I know it’s u20s so a bit different but jeez he looks a lot more composed and talented than Arscott and Hastie already.

    Don't count your chickens. The Saders will be after another 9 soon, if they aren't already.

    Foctunately, they have the no2 halfback in the U20s, Ben O'Donovan. That should be sufficient to back up Hotham. Otago and the Highlanders just need to work hard on telling Pledger the story about his future in the region. Which should be long and very sucessful.
