Wellington v Hawkes (RS)

[Smudge]

More like Hawke's Baked.

[JK]

Drug test the lot of em

[Kirwan]

Wow, way to taint a great win with disgusting behaviour. NZ Rugby need to take the Shield back.

[sparky]

Ban HB from all competitions.

[Canes4life]

Lol it couldn't be more obvious.

[sparky]

I guess the claim will be that it wasn’t one of the players but hard to believe none of the players were present when someone snorted an illegal drug off the Ranfurly Shield

I'm disappointed that the Shield has been damaged, but I'm already reading too many assumptions about what happened.

Shield went on the piss and got absolutely smashed

[Magpie_in_aus]

@Canes4life looks to me like the remnants of some sort glue/sealant. The boys obviously trying to fix the shield after it broke.

[Virgil]

Thats a clean break, it would have been a shoddy repair job to begin with. Dropping it on a hard surface just broke open where it was previously apart and repaired.

Im not vested in this, i just work with wood and see this all the time...carry on.

Edit: i mean wood breakages, not Coke.

carry on again

This made me laugh way more than it should have

Well can you fix it ?

New Zealand Rugby is counting on you.

Help us Virgil wan Kenobi, you’re our only hope.

[JK]

@Virgil Looks like a straight line to me

[mariner4life]

This just gets worse and worse, doesn't it?

Now we're doing rails of a broken log? This would be deadshit behaviour in the NRL FFS

[Virgil]

@JK
Have to be more specific about which straight line you are seeing.

[Virgil]

@MN5

could use glue but based on the evidence theres a good chance that would be abused as well.

@Smudge said in Wellington v Hawkes (RS):

I think that's what annoys most people. Everyone would acknowledge that accidents happen, but it's what you do next that matters, and taking photos of said broken shield and posting it on social media (even in a semi-private setting like Snapchat or a WhatsApp group or whatever) is dumb.

I suspect there's more to come too...

Well, I guess we know the identity of the guy who sent the photo to NZR with the caption about snorting drugs.

Agree, the break in itself isn't the issue, but fuck me young people are dumb with their phones, and posting that shit has just inflamed this.

[Machpants]

I wonder if it will get returned to Welly with the result void if drugs are found on it with testing

Stuff

[frugby]

Walker-Leawere was early suspended for having weed in his system... how long does cocaine last in your system? Presumably several Magpies players would fail drugs tests if asked to do them after the BOP game?

[Magpie_in_aus]

@frugby not long 12-24hours if not a frequent user maybe bit longer if they use it a lot. Hair samples which I doubt they take can basically look back for months/years if required.

[canefan]

Wow there are some real zingers on here. HB have poor form in this regard, after all they provided the only pitch invaders at a Wahs game that I can recall ever.
