@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.

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.
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.

Watch: Wellington Rugby mascot puts big hit on rival during halftime of NPC final
While most mascots had their eyes on the finish line, Leo the Lion had other ideas.

Good to see someone dealing with the Hawkes Bay.
-
@Machpants That dirty Lion is still pissed that we smashed them twice. Disqualification in that race, obviously.
-
@Stargazer you dirty Shield destroyers deserved it.
-
@Canes4life I doubt the mascot was there. Most of the team wasn't even there.
-
@Stargazer the holders are responsible for the Shield and they broke it, full responsibility lies with HB.
-
@Canes4life And they have taken that responsibility. Let's not derail a thread about a fantastic final with this discussion again. Please, keep that to the thread about the RS game.

@Stargazer Sometimes you just have to distribute justice yourself.
6 weeks ban down to 3 because Leo said sorry and has promised to attend tackle school.

No pretty sure they just asked the teams to send mascot outfits, the fella in looked like most of them were mates, Was a fun fill in at halftime.

And also Leo got smahed by one of the fellas that had those big balloon looking things on so they can run into each other. There were 3 of them running bock on all mascots
They have them at quite a few events. -

Glad to see this result, was worried the NPC Trophy was at risk if the Shield Snorters got hold of it.
