    Enjoyed that shield game! I can't lie at one stage I thought North Habour were going to be victors but as they say you can't write off The Bay🙂

      You have got to give the magpies their dues , when the going gets tough in these big games their forward pack always delivers .
      Congratulations, gonna take a good team to prize that shield away ..

        Would love to see Shaun Stephenson in a black jersey , so reminds me of James Lowes ..a skill set made for international rugby ..D is a concern but so was Lowes

        Stevenson and Lowe style outside backs with decent pace, ability to beat a man, and a huge punt don't appear to be valued in NZ rugby ... they're no George Bridges.

        They had plenty of chances to show how good they are in the Chiefs but never really took them.

          I'm genuinely bemused as to whether he doesn't realise he's behind the feed.

          As bemused as I am by the result.

                That last scoring possession of HBs started with a really weird lineout maul.
                The maul was legally sacked but the ball passed out the back. Then all the players on the ground stood up and the maul started again. Surely they were offside?

                          @Crucial there is an art to profiling a player with a specific skill set regardless of what team he plays for .
                          Stephenson has all the tools to succeed in a higher environment, unfortunately this current coaching group don’t rate him .
                          But we are talking about a group that is playing the same team back to back for the first time in 49 x games ..tells you something about them as a selection team

                                Harbour bench not as good. Kalapu looked good though.

                                      It's hard to believe, but we basically won this game because McClutchie's boot was better than Gatland's.

                                        And Harbour nearly won it through Gatland's attacking game.

                                        It's the upside down.

                                          @Crucial we will agree to disagree..players with lesser skill sets and an ability to beat players one on one have been part of the All Black set up in recent times .
