NPC Final: Wellington vs Bay of Plenty

@antipodean Same thing happened to Shields
-
Entertaining game for the unaligned. Probably the better team won.
We have to do something about the quality of refereeing in this country too.

I hope we never see JGB in a Lions jersey again. A completely to script performance from him and I truly cannot fathom why our coaches do not see this, season after season. Thankfully Harkin came on for that last kick.
Shields was my MoM. Julian had a bit of 2015 about him today too!
Higgins and PUJ very good too.

Big ups to Numia and Lauaki aswell for playing 89 mins before being subbed. Mammouth effort.

Player of the match and the season for me was Riley Higgins. He had some crucial touches in that game that turned the momentum in our favour.
Maybe for the season overall, but I thought he was a little out of action today. Brad Shields was massive and led the defensive charge for the Lions. My MOTM

Congratulations Wellington, wish I got to see it. VPN not working for me and no local coverage on this trip.
Great season Bay fans -

Yeah I thought the two midfields evened each other out but he had a couple of massive touches that turned the momentum back in our favour when BOP took the lead. Overall, a pretty impressive season and excited to see how he goes for the AB XV side.

There aren't many players that put their body on the line like Kirifi. Two championships as a Lions captain, he'll always be a Wellington legend.
You know we've finally got our shit sorted when we've been able to finish the business. A winning % of 85% over the last three seasons is pretty good going. Hopefully we can keep the core of this group together for another couple seasons yet.
