I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed. Sadly I’m not surprised given the area. Fucking scum supporters too. Only place in NZ that I have gone to a rugby match and felt threatened. Even the fucking can tabs are t that bad. Fucking filth.

I remember going out in Hastings and nearly getting rolled by gang members.
Scary unsafe joint

It’s your own fault for thinking you’d have a fun night out in Hastings to be fair

People from Hastings don't go out in Hastings. Plus, they probably weren't gang members, just some intermediate age street kids.

School uniforms can be pretty intimidating

Rugby players, copious amounts of piss and trophies. I’m amazed there aren’t more stories like this.

Awesome stuff HB .. get that shield back to the provinces where it's appreciated

Appreciated by smashing it to pieces? Philistines, it was just restored this year

[Magpie_in_aus]

Apparently it's a whole new piece and was restored. Therefore I blame the nzru. Otherwise probably laws of average given we have probably held it the most the last twenty years.

On the plus side given we have it for the next nine months should be plenty of time to repair/re-brake it.

The Shield is still cool huh?

And here's me thinking players and teams would respect it.

Dumb Hawkes bogans

Harsh.

Real harsh.

Fucking Foster.

[taniwharugby]

@Bones and Deans, fucking Foster and Deans are ro blame for everything, EVERYTHING!

[Smudge]

I blame Norman McKenzie for instilling this misplaced sense of arrogance into HB rugby players 100 years ago.

I’m not going to be satisfied until I get a press conference and a tearful apology from all involved.

100% take my comment back! Send it back to Wellington.

[mikedogz]

The Peace Cup, played for at Sub Union level in the North Island is still in its damaged state but inside a case. They probably won't do that for the shield.

[sparky]

HB players can’t hold their booze. That’s the obvious conclusion from this incident.

Look, lets face facts, we all know that it was Wellington boy Tiatia that dropped it.

[Magpie_in_aus]

The new shield was built by a company in Wellington. Absolute stitch up. Likely inserted something in the wood to explode once they lost the shield. Shoddy workmanship.
