Horsehead, Cavy and Tech are always gonna dominate Otago teams because they have by far the best players, funnily enough thats why they are dominating the league. You could say Roslyn are not far behind in 3rd but they are actually miles behind Tech and Cavy at the moment. 14-0 v Tech and 5-1 v Cavy this year. Roslyn man for man wouldn't have many if any players that would oust Cavy or Tech players from starting lineups. Keats, Connor, Brand have all tried and failed.
To say that it was Tech-Otago last year is quite silly, there was only Scoullar, Coburn, Burgess, Prattley and those guys would make any Otago team, no matter who was selecting it.
Other teams have the odd player that might make a squad but thats about it at the moment. Players like Morgan Day, Coldicott etc who do have some potential need to go to Tech or Cavy if they want to improve by training with better players week in and week out and being pushed to make starting lineups.
