Otago v Auckland

[frugby]

Faleafaga playing Bs is just weird IMO.

Hard to see anything other than Auckland pummelling us, so naturally TUJ will have a stormer and it will be relatively close. Still think Auckland get it done though.

Just thought I’d take a look at the ticket prices for the game tonight… $32 for 1 adult. Nothing short of daylight robbery to be paying $32 to watch an NPC game, what a joke. No wonder people aren’t turning up these days. For reference, Canterbury have adult tickets for $10.

Surely half the attendees will be freebies. It is a low draw comp. But you need to give yourself the best opportunit possible by making tickets accessible. Dunedin is a low wage economy. They need to get bums on seats

Aoake on the bench, no Tangitau

[SouthernMann]

I'll take that start. Arscott should have just scored himself though

Great bit of footy from Hurley. Incredible offload. Some x-factor we didn’t see last week, good to see. Good start

And the Dutchie said not this time pal

[SouthernMann]

Great another injured outside back with Whaanga down

[Duluth]

Well done Segner

[Bones]

Really impressive defensive organisation by Otago until Segner does something special.

[Bones]

Yuck. You've just created space and you do that. Fuck I hate the kiwi propensity for a dink.

I don't love Funaki stepping before passing.

[Bones]

Brilliant try. Man Gilbert looked pedestrian though. Looked remarkably like Withy.

[SouthernMann]

Awesome work from Whaanga. Shit Gilbert just can't move laterally. Has to stop to change direction.

[SouthernMann]

Gilbert's complete inability to move at pace, like a top quality rugby player cost us that try.

[nzzp]

Great work Lam.

[Landers92]

Unbelievable try saver by Lam, credit where credit is due.

Funaki going off is huge.

Yeah great from Lam. Gilbert is still a carthorse and can only run straight though.

Tanielu Tele'a's inputs are always positive so far in the NPC.

Plays like a person with half his physical traits.
