Well deserved win for the Stags. Continuing on their good season form into a big game shows they are for real. Bring on next week.

That was bloody great, and if ever anyone needed a reminder that rugby is a game that is a lot about just going out there and sticking it to more fancied team, that was it. Stags just refused to lose!!! 
 Is there a player in country that epitomes what giving it everything for your team than Sean Withy??

@Yeetyaah said in Waikato v Southland (RS): I'm gutted but a well deserved win from the Stags. Just a gritty team that went to work and their fans are fucking top notch. Man it would be even better if they defend it next week against Canterbury.

Well on a selfish level mate, although I would like them to hold it, if they lose it to Canterbury the Naki may get a shield challenge, so I'm torn!

So if Canterbury win the shield do they then have to defend against both Ta$man and Taranaki?

@Stag It's really noticeable that some guys who have been in the AB camp for a while are looking less fit and sharp than players who have been with their NPC squads for a couple of months. WTF are the All Blacks coaches doing with those players?

Well done Stags! Great win and definitely time for the people of the Southland region to party hard.

I haven't read through the thread yet, nor watched the game. But the result was ruined by me scrolling Facebook. I'll still watch, but congrats Stags!

Went to the game. Horrid weather conditions. Southland played them much better than Waikato. Liked the play of Jack Taylor, Taeiloa and Peni.. although the latter showed a few rough edges. 
 Thought only ALB and Mason Tupaea went well for Waikato. Very much an off day, with the lineout a real shocker.
