Segner looks like he's in trouble with a shoulder injury.

Well they got a penalty when two Ta$man players trapped Sapsford while he was trying to roll away so swings and roundabouts.

[Yeetyaah]

Uhhh Aumua's hands were on the ground first

[Nepia]

Congrats Ta$man, too good on the day.

I'm going outside to punch an Australian.

[Toddy]

Woohoo. See ya later grubs.

Decent game, both sides with thier chances, Ta$man did well to hold on.

[Chris B.]

Woo hoo!!!

Didn't really see that coming, but I didn't have as bad of a a feeling about this game as I did the shield Challenge.

Hard luck Hawkes Bay.

[Yeetyaah]

Was actually a banger of a game tbh. Good for a neutral, though I wanted Bay to win as Ta$man winning the comp again is boring.

@yeetyaah dunno, nothing wrong with a team that creates a winning culture, even if they are a bunch of mercenaries

@nepia can hear the hate in Smithys commentary though

Bloody Smithy - he's a poach HBer from Nelson anyway!

What do they teach you at junior grades never go by yourself and what did Mikaele-Tu’u do exactly that.

It was fucking awful as a HB fan, was a hard watch due to the dipshit high error rugby we were playing.

At halftime I thought we'd done well to stay in the game.

Bookended an awesome season with two crap performances against the Naki and the Baabaas.

Congratulations to Ta$man , the better team won today , Hawkes Bay too many handling errors and their line out which is normally their meat and drink faltered ,also a few individuals well below their best
Tell you what though you can’t be too disappointed if you are a magpies supporter still got the shield locked away and they have played some stunning rugby and for regional team a good number signed to Super contracts
Finally full credit to Mark Ozich for his time at the Bay , has done an amazing job turning the union around , originally from my club up here in Auckland Waitemata
Mark has done incredibly well.

We didn't poach him, he's a squatter, you're welcome to take him back any time.

[Chris B.]

@nepia Smithy's always welcome.

We could have him, TJ and Kane Hames even-handedly commentating Mako matches - the outrage would be something to behold.

[Stargazer]

Gutted. And salty as. That try from the forward pass has cost us a spot in the final. That, and that stupid pass from Visinia.

Probably the (marginally) best team in this game is going through; the best team of the season has ...

The Magpies have had an awesome season and I'm super proud of my team. For Ash Dixon and Mark Ozich, I'm really disappointed they couldn't top it off with a Final, but they've defended the Shield well and have played some awesome rugby. It looks like most players will be staying, so the future looks bright. Bring on 2022.
