-
and seems odd Southland resting Selby-Rickit for such an important game for them???
-
@ARHS He left the field injured in their last game.
-
@Stargazer aha - thanks
-
Is Charles Alaimalo related to Solomon? Interesting to hear the commentator pronouncing his name how I would've thought is properly. Don't recall the same for Solomon in super rugby.
-
Very painful to watch.
-
@Bones Yes, his brother.
-
Schoking level of rugby. This is bad.
Really bad -

No idea mate. Hashtag booboo
-
@KiwiMurph @Bones yes, younger brother
-
I reckon a few of these Southland boys wouldn’t look out of place in Super Rugby
-
Don't worry @Stargazer you're not invisible to me bro!
-
@Bones i only saw a response above, didnt go hunting for others...
-
Stupidest call of the year by southland. Unforgivable not taking the 3.
-
jeez both teams not taking easy 3...woulda thought Southland would take the BP
-
And a chance to win by receiving the kickoff. Utter stupidity
-
Huge penalty kick miss at the end for a bonus point.
-
dumb, last one was easier!
-
Fucken hell that was atrocious. Could Southland have possibly achieved less urgency there? Why fuck about walking around with the ball and chatting until time is up if you're just gonna rush the kick and miss?
-
@Bones especially when the previous one was a gift, and a try meant jack in terms of winning/losing and it soaked up time, which they didnt score
Southland have kept touch due to BPs, throwing that one away was stupid
-
Southland have some nice runners in their team but they find it really hard to score tries.
They're a bit of a weird one. They've got the best points against in the comp and the worst points for in the comp.
-
I like the play of Moorby and te tamaki. Thought Nicole was good earlier in season too.
-
@Dice I think thier style of play slows the game down, coupled with a solid defensive system making it tough for other teams to score against too, but they just cant seem to score either
-
So a good game to ignore then.

It was tough viewing. Not a great deal of highlights. Southland started well I thought and were up and in defensively. But the attack from both sides is pretty mediocre.
