[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 423452, member: 24910"] Otago is traditionally one of the strongest teams in NZ rugby, with Dunedin also the home base for the Highlanders rugby franchise. They have been going down hill for a number of years and had absolutely appalling season last year, getting 14th out of 14 teams. This year they have almost a completely new team, with half the players from last years team released, and about 15 new players included in the squad from other regions. The team this year looks a lot more promising; they have a couple of very experienced players (Kees Meeuws, Tony Brown), and whole pile of young (20-21 years old) players who look very promising (Liam Coltman, TJ Ioane, Gareth Evans, Hayden Parker, Buxton Popoali'i). There best two players are Adam Thomson and Ben Smith, though they are both currently away with the All Blacks squad. Otago has looked quite good so far this year: they have won 2/3 games (including beating Auckland in Auckland for the first time in 25 years)... it will be interesting to see whether they can keep there strong start going.
