        Contrasting styles promise classic battle of attack versus defence

        Contrasting styles promise classic battle of attack versus defence

        This is defence against attack. Otago will have to have its tackling boots on when it plays Mitre 10 Cup Championship leader Wellington in the...

          Has Aumua played more than 60 minutes in a game before during the Mitre 10 cup? With Apisai going off early (I think in 14th minute?), it will be interesting to see if he can play well for that long. I'd expect he can.

              Sensational play Umaga Jensen.

              Julian Savea very nearly butchers the try.

                Clear grounding? Bullshit. It just wasn't clear and obvious that it was not grounded.

                  @kiwimurph And that's the U-J twin that's not in the Canes squad!

                    @stargazer youd have to think this one will make a wider squad somewhere.

                      @kiwimurph I remember reading somewhere that he's going back to Dunedin (to study) after the Mitre 10 Cup. Would be nice if there was room for him at the Landers.

                        Geez, that was almost a certain try to Otago! Nutbrown in the way.

                            Penalty try and Nutbrown into the bin for 10 minutes

                                The fact that Wellington is so good this year proves IMO how shit Earl Va'a was as a coach the past few years. There was always the suspicion that his appointment was due to his family ties with Ken Laban, who is/was on the Wellington board, and Wellington's results this year only add to that suspicion.

                                  Awesome try from Koroi! Totally surprised Ben Lam there.

                                      I'm a traditionalist and just love the style of jersey that Otago are wearing

                                        Both teams did their best to bottle that last few minutes then the ref finishes it....
