Interesting game, Canterbury were the better in the first half and probably bossed the midfield. Second half Otago took over and deserved to level the scores.

From my angle I thought the penalty was a con job, Brand over ran the cross and dived as if someone had pushed him.
 
Left back for Otago had poor distribution, couple of hoofs when not under pressure. Robbie Deeley? (No 8 with the handlebars) had one of those chasing shadows games, worked hard but was always caught in no mans land (he would be the midfielder that I would change, not sure of other options). Andy Coburn was strong, impressed with his control in the 2nd half. Barry Gardener on the left provided the best attacking moves. Up front Dugdale was a threat. The subs didn't add anything to the team, Tom Conner looked lost.
 
Canterbury looked strong in a couple of positions but like Otago lacked quality across the paddock. Fiffi had pace to burn but lacked support, they took him off to close up shop. Centre back was a real hard man, will be sent off at least twice this season, Andy Pittman was good but run out of legs. Not sure who the other midfielder (very right footed) was but he was very quick and quite attacking.
 
Nice at Sunnyvale but what is with the charging?
