            @kiwiwomble yeah I'm surprised too. Was low-key hoping Waikato or BOP jumped in.

                            Otago has re-signed Ray Nu'u (one year), Thomas Umaga-Jensen (two years), Jermaine Ainsley (two years), Saula Ma'u (three years). All top quality who will add a lot to the campaign.

                                  I’m use to sio…it’s almost a tradition to have a card magnet in midfield

                                    @Kiwiwomble would be awesome if he made the all blacks, he's a much better player than Ennor in my opinion, happy with Otagos proping stocks

                                          McGlashan trio boast illustrious pedigrees

                                          McGlashan trio boast illustrious pedigrees

                                          It's not the 1990s - but there is a Joseph on the side of the scrum and a Timu out wide. And the ‘‘Bear’’ is back.

                                          all pretty cool, interesting these guys with "pedigree" are at johnnies rather than OB's or Kings, hopefully some guys to look out for in the future

                                          no idea Foster was still knocking out dunners

                                                @macmanus I wonder why Ajay Faleafaga hasn't made it. Have they just left out all the Highlanders U20 players? Pretty cool to see John Lesie's son in there.

                                                  @SouthernMann I think so, also Finn Hurley, Holland or Wingham. Holland obviously will be part of Otago squad.

                                                      I would be expecting Gilbert to be in the 10 group, especially as a starting Super Rugby 10. Freedom also available in the outside backs. I reckon Faleafaga and Asi will likely be in the outside back group, as well as Finn Hurley too.

                                                      We have some really good props available.

                                                        Speaking of outside backs, where is Jermaine Pepe at now regarding making the main squad?

                                                          I would be expecting Gilbert to be in the 10 group, especially as a starting Super Rugby 10. Freedom also available in the outside backs. I reckon Faleafaga and Asi will likely be in the outside back group, as well as Finn Hurley too.

                                                          We have some really good props available.

                                                          yeah, a bit uncertain about Vahaakolo, he put that weird post up last week

He must have moved to Otago in May. He played for the Hawke's Bay U19 team at the Jock Hobbs Memorial U19 tournament in 2017, so I assume he's been in our academy.

There were five Uni players in there, plus one with the Canes. Uni is likely to provide Ricky Jackson, Josh Dickson, Josh Hill, Sean Withy, Josh Timu, Thomas Umaga-Jensen and potentially Will Stodart and Jeremiah Asi. Not living down there I'm not 100% sure on players.

I expect they will pick him in the provincial squad. The reports I've read say he has been playing with a bit of time and running his cutters well for the mighty Dunedin Sharks.
