Wasn't that kick for touch taken back?

Ref didn't make a call on scrums all game until the end....was the right call though. That hurts. Better team won.

Superb final Congratulation Taranaki ,commiserations HB
Plenty of ticker in this HB side , just a couple really bad exit moments they will lament
Whats crazy is both teams won their first 4 games of the round robin and then lost their next 3 -
Bugger. So close. Still immensely proud of our team. A great season, and making the final against all expectation. If most of our guys stay in the province, we'll be back stronger next year.
Congrats to @Dan54 and other Naki fans. You've had a great season. Best team on the day, especially your defence, which was outstanding.

@Stargazer was always going to be a tough ask having been on the road for the last 5 weeks and if you count the RS match that was 4 must win matches they needed to get themselves up for , thats some effort
All the very best to Brad Weber and any other players leaving -
@Steven-Harris We'll miss Brad and Marino immensely. If Fakatava makes the ABs next year (and there's a good chance he will), we have bit of a problem, although Enari will be back.

Potroz has made Naki infinitely worse... also no chance Perofeta is an All Black 10.
Perofeta is not someone you want to take a game-winning shot at goal.
Mabey was very lax at the breakdown. The worst was when Tiatia came running in from the side to counter-ruck right in front of Mabey. Weber knocked on, so justice there.
I do feel for Weber though, as neither final he played in went his way. PGS gets to finish on a high.

Can honestly say mate it was another one of those rugby days that will stick in my mind. The atmosphere etc was bloody great, the fun and joy were something to behold. It genuinely helps to remind me of one of the many reasons I came home to live. My wife has been coming with me to games, has got pretty into it, and had some woman nest to her we never met before ,they were jumping up and down , hugging each other as things were getting excited. A great advert for our game! I will add a few Bay supporters there too, and were great fun and pretty sportsmanlike etc I thought.

Hopefully Boshier is ok - he had a wonderful season.
He looked very very sick when he came off.
Anyway, off to get some lunch and a beer.
