@Stargazer said in Wellington v Hawkes (RS):

Geez, can we keep it civil and not insult an entire province. Us locals are just as disappointed about this as anyone else.

Calm down @Stargazer, no one has had a go at Wairoa or Mahia yet.

The last one true tradition left in NZ rugby and this is how it is treated

Rugby as we knew it is dead

Roll on the revolution

True, this is probably mainly a city problem. Napier especially, but definitely Hastings

[Hooroo]

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

I'm loving the hate. We have the Shield bitches. (Even if it is in multiple parts).

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.

@booboo said in Wellington v Hawkes (RS):

The Shield is still cool huh?

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

Dumb Hawkes bogans
