    Was supporting Wellington in this game.... but jeez, Kirifi really is a dick, innit?
    Between his antics, and the partisan crowd at a dodgy Wgtn Sports Bar... if it had been anybody but ChCh, or Akl, I'd have considered switching allegiance.

        22 years of waiting. Blackwell, Kirifi, Bird, Numia the unsung heroes of this team.

        Sheck deserves a Hurricanes contract, he’s stepped up time and time again.

        Commiserations Cantabs.

        Man I am happy.

        Agree on Sheck. He got his chances and really took it

          Well done Wellington, played bloody well tonight and the last few weeks also, well deserved (losing to Northland was the catalyst 😉 )

                Congrats to Wellington.

                Canterbury probably missing All Black XV player Finlay Brewis. Would have made all the difference.

                  Wellington easily the best side over the last month

                  Yeah they play a very good pattern and they’ve got the speed and go forward to make the most of it.

                        He is a knob. On that last scrum pen he just decided to aggressively shove a cantab when he was walking back, for no reason.

                        Hei aha.

                        Woooo the fucken hoooo!

                          Fantastic Final ,incredible performance from the Lions not just in this match but to string such an unbeaten run together over the season truly amazing
                          Nga mihinui ki a koutou Wellington Lions
                          Possibly the best forward performance i have seen from a Lions pack in a very long time thought that final score flattered the Cantabs
                          Congrats to the lions supporters on the thread

                                      @Dan54 was probably the best he has played tonight for some time.

                                      Not sure I'd rate him as a captain either, but he is surrounded by some quality players in form right now too.

                                      Wellington playing some great running rugby too, which is good to see, especially some of the young uns they got

                                      Probably one of pickerills better games too, but still unsure how he managed to get it if based on rankings of refs.

                                        Kirifi really is a dick

                                        biggest dickhead in NZ Rugby

                                        Well done Wellington, played bloody well.

                                        Don't know what Kirifi has done, apart from play well, he surely captains the team well.

                                        Look, I'm also from the 'Naki... and understand the instinct for a bit of provincial patriotism.

                                        No. I want to be able to have a beer with my opponent after the match.

                                        Hes not so bad. Leader of an impressive forward display

                                        Blackwell and Bird both were impressive. I've slagged Blackwell off at times for the Canes but he stepped up week after week for mostly the full game

                                        Wellington were lucky (esp compared to the Canes and Wellington in recent years) that they had very few injuries. I thought our luck might have run out with Cowan out but both TH props did very well. And Numia once again luckily lasted for the full match as our replacement LH is poor

                                        Lakai at 19 is surely a future AB. Delany is my biggest improver. Numia was a close 2nd. And Kirifi rounded out a great forwrad display. To do what I thought wouldn't happen. Even after Auckland I still had my doubts

                                        Final point. Aumua lineout throwing was first rate in this game. We finally did it.

                                          That was a nice speech from Kirifi.....

                                          @hydro11 Kirifi spoke very well ,obviously pushes boundaries on the field but to me its how you act once the final whistle goes and i think Du Plessis displayed plenty of class and respect in his interview
