Otago v Manawatu (Ranfurly Shield)

@taniwharugby said in Otago v Manawatu (Ranfurly Shield):

Apparently Manawatu hold the record for the longest drought for holding the log of wood...

Manawatu - 41 years.
Northland - 40 years
BOP - 15 years
NH - 15 years
Auckland - 11 years

and just for you @Chris-B
Ta$man - however long they have been in existence

Surprising that none of those droughts are as long as the 43 years that several teams have racked up without winning the NPC First Division.

M4L doesn't need to worry of course - his team has only racked up 42 years.

[Bovidae]

@Chris-B There is hope.

Otago --> Taranaki --> BOP --> Hawke's Bay --> Ta$man

[Chris B.]

@Bovidae That path would only be sweeter if it went via Northland.

Here's all the possible Ranfurly Shield games this season, I did a video talking about where I think it will go for my supporters.

I mentioned the possible routes not the improbable. You need the Poo to win for that scenario, and hope Northland beat Canterbury.

Anyone else think Laumape and Hemopo should be playing given they’re not likely to get game time next week against Tonga?

Hemopo is named above.

[taniwharugby]

haha pretty sure I just heard @Nepia on RS talking about the 'contrived' Ta$man team!

[mikey07]

@taniwharugby yes I also heard that

[mikey07]

@shark Oh for us millennials readings not our strong point how come Hemopo is playing and not Laumape how odd

[taniwharugby]

@mikey07 maybe expecting one of Crotty or SBW to be injured in the next 2 weekends

[mikey07]

@taniwharugby he also abused Wellington as needing an Enema..

Hahaha, not me, but good to know that the quality of debate on RS has improved while I've been in Oz.

it sounds a lot like you to be fair!

[DrivingMaul]

It's nearly game time

[Yeetyaah]

Let's go Manawatu.

[Steven Harris]

Where have you been this year Turbos ..?..omg ..!
Jackson Hemapo is on fire...,

[Stargazer]

It's still early in the game, but Northland players and fans must be licking their lips, seeing the current score.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer No licking,just fear about getting our arses handed to us by the magpies tomorrow

[antipodean]

How is that a penalty when the Otago 8 never has hands on the ball?
