Wellington v Hawkes (RS)

Great win for the Bay. Well done enjoy the log in the off season!
NB: Love this competition. Lots of close games, players keep putting themselves up for SR. Hope those corporate piston wristed gibbons at NZRFU and that tosspot of a CEO don’t screw over the provinces. They keep trying.

Glad the shield can work on it's tan in the HB summer again.
I think Wellington are still the clear favourites to win it all.
Anyway great for the blood pressure another 2 point or less HB win.
After today who cares about the rest of the season?

@J77 you say that like we’ve taken the Shield for granted. It’s been awesome seeing the Shield in the communities around Wellington. No need for stupid comments like that mate.
HB deserve their victory.
Yeah, reckon all of the NPC teams appreciate the Ranfurly Shield. If Auckland won it, reckon people would go nuts for it, because they haven't had it for so long.
The players care. However attendance at Shield games have fallen off a cliff in the last decade or so.

Just a shit province with no respect. Kick them out of the comp

This is why Hawke's Bay shouldn't be trusted with anything precious. Absolute trash behaviour. I am both appalled and disgusted.
Sanctions should.be:
- Shield-holding status is relinquished and given to East Coast
- HB stripped of all points in this year's NPC, and unable to collect any points in 2024 or 2025.
- BOP get "The Bay" usage rights for the next 10 years, regardless of results.
- Forced to play all 2024 home games at a shitty ground with noted drainage and sunstroke issu-... wait, they already do that.
- Magpie supporters must not be navel-gazing, one-eyed, chip-on-shoulder-carrying knobends for five years. This will clearly be the hardest to maintain based on the HB fans on the Fern.

Ignore the clickbait title.

Actually for al the jokes, it pretty disappointing that this happened. Yeah yeah it's just young fellas being young fellas , but not really what you want happening. If you not going to look after it don't take the f***en thing home, or let anyone take it home if they are idiots.

Too many assumptions about what happened.
Based on what I’ve read I’m assuming someone split it in half
