@Bovidae hope Taranaki wins the shield. When Canterbury won it Like Whitelock didn't look to happy about, kinda pisses you off when you see the captain with no passion for winning the shield.

@Yeetyaah It is good if the Ranfurly Shield moves around.

@Chris-B should be cheering for the Naki or Wellington 2 weeks later. Ta$man could finally get their challenge if future results go their way.

Woah, woah. That isn't going to happen. @Chris-B is going to need a respirator and we need those for both of our covid patients.

What, wait!

Is there still something that money can’t buy?

[Bovidae]

@Gunner Yes, and the person at NZR in charge of organising the NPC schedule is obviously an Otago fan.

They get the first RS challenge if Taranaki or Wellington win it.

[Gunner]

@Bovidae Northland can't be far behind Ta$man on the disliked chart, as our challenges are very few and far between.

[Chris B.]

NZ Rugby will probably nick a few more Ta$man players into the ABs and then give our weakest team of the decade a crack!

You're just being silly.

You don't get a crack.

It's Tew's revenge for not getting us gone when he wanted!
