Rod's ITM Cup Week 10 (Otago v Manawatu)

This is basically a 2nd XV running around for the Turbos tonight as they have already secured a home final against the Magpies. Still like their depth this season. Rennie has indicated that Cruden will get at least 20min tonight in the second half, if Turbos are within striking distance at that point they should go on and win the game.

Manawatu +5.5 over Otago

How are these two when it comes to scoring? Over 50.5 seems good?

Otago don't score many usually

On the otherside tonight ROD

A 5 point victory to otago and we both win.

Typically, Otago would be strong favs agaisnt a crap team like the Turbo's, but with their success this year in the second division everyone is jumping on their bandwagon... a second rate manuwatu team is about as bad as the Buller 1st 15.

Manawatu can put on points in a hurry but Otago play a grinding style. Gun to my head I would take UNDER even though neither team have much to play for.

Manawatu +5.5=
