But reality — in the form of injury — has arrived. The Otago blindside flanker was having a great first season for Otago. But he went over on his leg at training on Wednesday and is out of tonight’s game against Northland. Winger Freedom Vahaakolo also has a lower leg injury and was on crutches earlier this week after picking up the injury in the dying minutes of last week’s game against Tasman. The muscular Umaga-Jensen headed south after he left school and played in Dunedin for a year in 2016 but never played for Otago.
