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

          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.

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

                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 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.

                            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.

                              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.

                                  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.

                                    I kind of agree with Scotty Stevenson on the shield getting smashed, I not only pissed that it happened, obviously player taking it home who don't care, but then another piston wristed gibbon thought it a great idea to post pictures/video on line of how funny they thought it was! Probably me being a grumpy old bastard who has thought the Shield meant heaps, I don't even think there anything to make jokes about!

                                      I think that's what annoys most people. Everyone would acknowledge that accidents happen, but it's what you do next that matters, and taking photos of said broken shield and posting it on social media (even in a semi-private setting like Snapchat or a WhatsApp group or whatever) is dumb.

                                      I suspect there's more to come too...

                                        @Smudge Bang on, already there is talk of snorting drugs off broken shield! It just pisses me more all the time. Hawkes Bay won the shield, and because of f***en idiot players, they have already ruined an awful lot of the goodwill!!
