          That team has quite a preseason game feel to it, with so many changes from the last game. Hopefully not too many.

          First time for Sione Tu'iupulotu to wear the Magpies jersey, and a few NPC debuts. They may not have the same talent as their famous grandfathers, but who doesn't love seeing a team list with a Lochore and Tremain on it?

            @Stargazer love to see it🙌 In keeping with that i think Otago should start Tana Umaga's nephew then rest him for the stags game.

              @FakatavaAllBlack Big night for Harry Godfrey! NPC debut for the 19-year-old! I'd really like to know whether he's already signed up by a SR franchise. I hope the commentators for this game do their prep work well and can give us that info!

                @Stargazer if Laban's on the call he will no doubt say Harry out of Whanganui collegiate!

                    @Duluth they actually listened to the faithful as Millar remains at 10! credit to Josh for reaching 50 games, wouldn't be surprised if it's his last season before going overseas?

                      The changes to the xv aren't a surprise but the bench looks a little light.

                      For the midweek matches most sides keep a few of their top players on the bench.

                        @Duluth can't comment on the bay side of things, but Otago having Gilbert, Tucker, Pole & Haig on the bench gives me good confidence we can compete for the full 80 against one of the comps top province's 🙂

                          yeah, already back playing 15 after making it clear he wanted to play 10...cant seem him staying in Dunedin for long

                          any comms on people like TUJ or Nareki?

                            Shit that's a super B team, balanced out by no Tiatia though.

                              @Nepia Yep, 2nd stringers in the starting XV and 3rd stringers on the bench. So unnecessary, as we play Manawatu on Sunday! I'd rather see them use that game to give some players a rest.

                              I kind of hope that Godfrey rips Otago to pieces to claim that starting fullback jersey, but Tiatia may be a coach's pet, so not sure it will happen (this year).

                                I have no idea how good Godfrey is, but we have two more than capable fullbacks not starting at fullback in this match who I'd be happy with.

                                    @Nepia Oh, I totally agree! It's just that Godfrey will be wearing that 15 jersey tomorrow, and the other fullback options have a different number on their back.

                                    Godfrey is still a puppy, who'll play his first NPC game, so I have no unreasonably high expectations. I just hope he'll play well.

                                      Wash you mouth out with soap and water. If there is any team we want to beat by about 438 points in a game it is the 'Poo. Naturally we should play our first choice starting lineup against that mob.

                                        @Nepia He went OK against Poverty Bay chipping into the back line and making a couple of searing breaks, but that was little more than an opposed training run in the end.

                                          I wonder when they found out about Fakatava being released. I'd rest Weber against Manawatū and put him on the bench for this game (swap with McLeod).

                                                                                choc man, TUJ and Frizell in the crowd.. guess Shannon supports Otago and no longer the mako🙂

                                                                                Maybe he has to do his counselling as part of his bullshit diversion down in Dunedin?
