@mikedogz Uhm, there were accusations at the time that HB roughed it up, but they firmly denied that and claimed that's how they got the Shield from Otago. Unless anyone has any proof of who was responsible, I'd say it has just been an accumulation of teams not taking care of it properly.
haha yea my kids say the same thing "it was like that when i found it, honest!!"
We're the spiritual guardians of the Shield. Before we started our glorious 1920s run it wasn't the prestigious icon of today, but we made it what it was. So clearly it wouldn't have been us ...

Something else: what are they going to do when they have engraved all the little shields on the Log? Are they again going to remove them all and replace them with smaller ones? I vaguely remember they've done that before? Obviously, we'll reach a point that the Shield is "full".
