Wellington v Hawkes (RS)

The Kings of the modern day Ranfurly Shield Challenges ..Hawkes Bay , last 4 Challenges , 4 Wins very impressive

That was an enjoyable (understandably less enjoyable for Welly fans) tight game of tight rugby with some good attack and good defence.
@Nepia yeah fair play to Hawkes Bay. You guys were the better team (on the day). Wellington’s 19 game winning streak comes to an end but it might be the loss we need if we want to defend the title.

Well done Hawkes, always good to see the shield in the provinces.

@J77 you say that like we’ve taken the Shield for granted. It’s been awesome seeing the Shield in the communities around Wellington. No need for stupid comments like that mate.
HB deserve their victory.

@Canes4life no need to get defensive mate. But really the yellow seats say it all. I'm sure guys like yourself appreciated it, and that's not taking away from how good Wellington have been the last 12 months.. just would have been nice to see the city vote with their feet and show up.

Yeah, reckon all of the NPC teams appreciate the Ranfurly Shield. If Auckland won it, reckon people would go nuts for it, because they haven't had it for so long.

There would be more people at Sky Stadium then you realise... probably 4000-5000 there, which by NPC standards is solid.

Thank you, this supporter here is well on the way to a monumental hangover.

@Nepia Imagine what the scoreline would have been like had the Magpies had a team stacked full of players good enough to be awarded Hurricanes contracts instead of making do with players that can't cut the mustard in their own Super rugby catchment.
.. get that shield back to the provinces where it's appreciated
