Waikato v Tasman (Premiership Final)

[Chris B.]

@steven-harris I'm not too despondent.

To be honest, some of our shit performances earlier in the season didn't really warrant us being champions again.

A season that will stand us in good stead for the future, though. Lots of young guys blooded.

Three-peat was definitely on though if we'd not thrown wild passes into the midfield!

Merry Christmas Waikato!!!

Edit - and well done the Taniwha.

Another fitting final I thought. We sure sure spoilt in NZ rugby with the rugby we get at NPC level.
Waikato deserved winners in end, but it was bloody close.
I have to say I a real fan of Segner for Ta$man, I reckon he the best of young flankers around, if you watch him closely he a McCaw/Cane type 7 , I would not be surprised to see him in ABs in future!

Awesome win. Ring the cow bell!

[Bovidae]

That was fun. I'm hoarse.

A good way to celebrate Waikato's centenary year to win both the men's and women's competition.

My friends and I were talking about the joys of being a Waikato fan when leaving the stadium. We don't win the big prize very often, but just enough to appreciate it when we do. 1992, 2006 and 2021. That's a decent gap between titles. I've been lucky enough to be at all three of those finals.

well done Waikato, even if you managed to lose to the worst team in the comp on your way to the title, I expect it was that loss that rattled your cage into action

Me too. What a buzz. Each of those times was a special year with a new format.

[Hooroo]

It was a cool atmosphere too.

$9 a can opened up the ole wallet a bit but who cares in that situation. Was a very fun evening.

Book ended the game with beers at the Eastside which I haven't been to in a very long time.
