Nareki back to take on Canterbury
Jona Nareki is back - and just in time, as Otago gear up for a potentially crucial game against Canterbury at Forsyth Barr Stadium tomorrow night.
-
@Duluth hopefully they haven't rushed him, that back line looks much better, Ioane actually playing well at 12 i think, seems to be enjoying the space you get there at npc level

How has his defence been?
-
@Duluth im a rubbish analyst...but i think like it always is, hit and miss, at least at 10/12 he is close enough to the rusk for some loosies to come across, he just needs to slow them down for a second until support can get there, at 15 its a lot more obvious
-
Have really enjoyed this clash the past 2 years, here's hoping Saturday night will be no different 🙂

Final game of the season thanks to Hawke's Bay.
-
Miracles can happen🤞 although just watch that Ennor fella score a Hatrick 😔
-
What's with the white socks?

I think it's part of the breast cancer awareness week as it's happened in both other games today (one team full pink socks - one team white).
-
Good God Nisbo, you really don't care what name you're saying do you? Even if it might be impossible for that name to be the actual person.

I think Nisbo lost his passion sometime in the late 90s. Dialing it in ever since and often getting it completely wrong.
-
That’s a good team try. Good support play
-
love the choc man Jona Nareki
-
Good decision by Bell
-
Jager clearly targeting the legs in the maul, right in front of the AR.
-
And the award for worst drop goal attempt of the year goes to...
-
Josh Ioane pathetic
-
Counter's good? That was straight in the side, ridiculous.
-
@Bones Parapara stuffing around a lot at 9 asking for trouble.
-
That's a shocker by Lentjes. Imagine your captain stopping mid tackle on the try line to moan to the ref about obstruction when there wasn't any.
-
Good winger's try to Ennor.
-
Timu struggling out there
-
Christie really doesn't look much like Jager does he?
-
Christian Lio-Willie looking good
-

Those white fellas all look alike. Refer to Gallagher and Gardiner earlier in the half.
I wonder what Hauiti-Parapara said to the AR?

What happened? Missed that.

When Otago were walking to an attacking lineout late in the half, O'Keeffe said to him "speak to my AR like that again and you'll be off".
-
Harmon is a really useful and talented loose forward
-
That inside grubber kick sat up perfectly. Great try
-
Besides Fakatava that man Nareki is my favourite to watch🙂
-
Nareki certainly doesn't look like someone who hasn't played in forever. Chuck him straight into the AB XV.
-
This is going to be a tense final 20 for us Otago fans 😬
-
Who is playing 10 for Canterbury now Burke is off?

Nah, we can all see the South Island stitch up is on ...

Maybe Fihaki? Pretty hard to tell with this unstructured stuff..
Nareki is shit, can him.

C'mon boys you can do this
