I don't know, but he hardly ever seems to play.

Mentioned in the article:

Canterbury are again without halfback Mitchell Drummond (hamstring), fullback Josh McKay (ankle) and prop Tamaiti Williams (hamstring), although Drummond could return against Tasman next week.

Otago only have one win against the Cantabs since 2006. That win was last year though:

What a mental 15 seconds of play!!

Duluth

What happened to Debreczeni? Who came onto the bench?

taniwharugby

THat was only ending one way going that low

nakosi

Josh Ioane is a disaster.

Alex Harford

Geez, that must be one of the fastest tries on debut.

Stargazer

That was a good team try.

Canes4life

Otago are making Canterbury look better than they are. How many times have they had Canterbury on the ropes, just no patience from the men in blue and gold.

taniwharugby

good continuity for that Cantab try!

nakosi

Otaga are clueless on attack no support no continuity this is a disaster.

African Monkey

@canes4life You're right, and its because Otago lack ball carriers that can get in behind the Canterbury defence, hence why they just biff it wide and hope which suits the Canterbury defensive structure.

nakosi

Why the chip kick when you can try to spread it out wide with the advantage called?
Are they afraid of Canterbury's defense?
