Dammit. Knew this was going to happen, but still bloody frustrating to see the Mooloos lose the Shield to Canterbury. A Shield challenge on 8 October could maybe have lifted the Magpies a bit in this very frustrating season.
I wonder how long it is going to take for the Shield to change hands again? This Canterbury team is so hard to beat. Who's going to do it? Doubt it will be Harbour, so we'll have to wait until next year's draw comes out to discover who will get a shot at it.
-
Hmm it could stay in Chch for a very long time. Can't see it leaving anytime soon.

Stop yer whinging jealous pig islanders, a fucking fantastic result. Being hard to win is the entire point of the shield, if you want it to change hands every week than why don't you make your own shitty trophy just for your flaky inconsistent shithouse amateurs.
The first time the shield's been home in my sons' lifetime, when's the parade?
-
Great game i thought. Some really good tries. There are some really promising players running around that will be making the step up to Super rugby next year. J Barrett, Trainor, Goodhue etc. first time ive see Trainor play. Is he with the chiefs next year? Will be interesting to see what they do with Dmac, Cruden and Trainor. With Webber the have their fair share of skinny/mini white fellas. Does Trainor play any positions other than 15?
Thought the penalty against Barrett for the tackle without the ball was a bit rough. Thought you were able to tackle some who has 'bobbled' the ball. Tackle wasn't dangerous either.
The two Waikato wingers looked promising too. Lots of pace.

It's HOOOOOMMMMEEE.
Been a long time.
Congrats to Waikato, they played well and showed excellent endeavour.
Was good to see the young Cantabs step up away from home.
-
Pretty good game that one. Waikato certainly didn't roll over and let the Cantabs take it off them. The problem was that at 23-23 when they had momentum, they didn't do anything right. Canterbury kick penalty to take the lead, Christie puts kickoff straight into touch, Canterbury kick penalty, Christie puts the kickoff dead - once is bad, twice is giving the game away.
-
@Canerbry Sounds like a good idea. Names for it please?
Nah, well done Canterbury as much as I hate to say it and hate the pricks. No doubt if there is a parade the missus will try and drag me along to it haha.

Good game to be at. Bit sad that more people couldn't turn up on a balmy evening. That's mickey mouse cup rugby though.
I like that the speights ale house does massive jugs of beer. That was the highlight of the evening.
-
@Hooroo well and there i was thinking that the highlight for you would have been getting to watch some of the game with a fellow ferner. What a fcuker. Hope you got fcuking wet.
Great game to remind everyone what a bunch of dicks backs are. Especially when they kick the ball away to the opposition with 2 mins on the clock and behind on the score board.
Was extremely tempting to run on the pitch and punch him in the nuts as a friendly reminder to never do that again.

-
@WillieTheWaiter oh yes. Good to see you too mate. Did not get wet.
Kicking the ball out on the full at restart and then dead lost any momnentum they had

I couldn't believe that - firstly couldn't believe the Cantabs kicked it away with 2 minutes left and straight to the full back, but then to kick it straight back at them when possession is EVERYTHING with these trial laws.

What's with this "the Shield's home'' bullshit that all the boorish Ca/unterbury supporters have been flinging all over social media like a mad woman's scat? Wasn't it first given to Auckland in 1902?
That's what some supporters of every team - that has ever held the Shield - say, when they win it. So what?

I've hardly heard it from any other supporters of any other team. That's what.
