Auckland v Otago

-
@Kiwiwomble it's wild that our oldest player in the starting line up is Josh Ioane.. if we can win at Eden Park (will be a big task) then I will really start to believe that this season is going to be special
-
forgot to mention congrats to Sean Withy Captaining us in such a big match at just 21 yrs old!
-
@FakatavaAllBlack some interesting selections, Lentjes on the bench for example, very young team

All those co-captains is unusual - Pole/Withy/Lentjes
Just name the whole 23 as co-captains, then they can all complain to the ref
-
@Duluth where does it say Pole is co captain?
-
@Kiwiwomble Freedom to score the match winner in his home city 🤞

Dalzell and Vest are locks we should be able to replace with better players.
Will be interesting to see how Te Ariki Te Puni goes.

As a 13 wing surely he's better than Ennor
-
Freedom Try 🙏
-
Don't think it was obstruction. Auckland player just ran into the Otago player. Was milking it.
-
Try stands. Correct decision.
-
Auckland pack dominating.
-
well at least the Rayasi anytime try ticket is a winner😔
-
Of course it's Vest who gives the ball back by doing a soft hitup with no support.......
-
well it's a sad Saturday evening for me right now, hopefully Cane and the boys can cheer me up
-
Of course it's Vest....
Fuck him off.
-
Congrats to Auckland the much better side this evening

Didn't watch the game, but they are two of a decent number of youngsters looking the goods at NPC level this year. Great to see.

well August 27th 2022 an all time bad night for me!

Just watching the game now. I've seen Jermaine Ainsley's name mentioned on here for higher honours, but he's been absolutely murdered at scrum time by Hodgman.
Otago's handling in the first half was terrible. Could have really troubled Auckland with more accuracy in their attack.

Was coming into thread to say exactly that about Holland Kiwi, I have been watching hin for a while liking what he does, and although only saw first half hour of this game yesterday, he impressed the hell out of me. For a 19-20yo kid he even got a great build for a lock to go with his height. But his workrate really impresses me, he works well in mauls as well as lifting, jumping in lineouts . Looks a pretty complete package for a kid! And to top it off he caught AJ Lam from behind after he made a break.
