[Yeetyaah]

@taniwharugby yeah overnight

[Stargazer]

@Nepia Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss.

[taniwharugby]

Well done Otago!!

[Yeetyaah]

Fuck I love the Ranfurly Shield. It's more important than winning the title tbh.

[Kiwiwomble]

[Kiwiwomble]

[taniwharugby]

@Damo think he was taking the piss

[Stargazer]

Congrats to Otago, The Shield is yours for a week.
Magpies getting the next challenge!

Who do we have waiting in line as challengers in our first defence?

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Northland, on Friday 16 October (first an away game against Harbour on Sat 10).

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer she's pretty safe if you do win, we havent touched that thing in my lifetime

I think Otago win we get next crack, they lose we get a crack.

[Kiwiwomble]

... the next week is basically going to be me debating with myself if the bay are that good and we’re screwed or if canterbury are having a rare rough year and we have a shot...

[ACT Crusader]

What a game by Otago! Their motley crew of forwards were excellent. Who’s that nuggety barrel playing number 8?

Josh Ioane seems to have a calming influence in the way they attack as well.

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer bit of both really. Funny how it works though. I'd be complaining more if Waikato had lost by 5 or under but they got thrashed so meh. More of a Kane Hames hit piece.

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah I find Hames very annoying as a commentator, but I trust he knows the rules as a referee.

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer oh okay if that's the rule then I'm wondering why the Taranaki throw was called not straight when Otago didn't contest.
