I'm disappointed that the Shield has been damaged, but I'm already reading too many assumptions about what happened.
Shield went on the piss and got absolutely smashed

@Canes4life looks to me like the remnants of some sort glue/sealant. The boys obviously trying to fix the shield after it broke.
-
Thats a clean break, it would have been a shoddy repair job to begin with. Dropping it on a hard surface just broke open where it was previously apart and repaired.
Im not vested in this, i just work with wood and see this all the time...carry on.
Edit: i mean wood breakages, not Coke.
carry on again

Well can you fix it ?
New Zealand Rugby is counting on you.
Help us Virgil wan Kenobi, you’re our only hope.

This just gets worse and worse, doesn't it?
Now we're doing rails of a broken log? This would be deadshit behaviour in the NRL FFS

I think that's what annoys most people. Everyone would acknowledge that accidents happen, but it's what you do next that matters, and taking photos of said broken shield and posting it on social media (even in a semi-private setting like Snapchat or a WhatsApp group or whatever) is dumb.
I suspect there's more to come too...
Well, I guess we know the identity of the guy who sent the photo to NZR with the caption about snorting drugs.
Agree, the break in itself isn't the issue, but fuck me young people are dumb with their phones, and posting that shit has just inflamed this.

And a Hawke's Bay player has been charged by the cops. Will be interesting to see the team Hawke's Bay name for it's nxt fixture

im in the camp of what happens to these trophies in between games is a bit of the mystique of them, the unsubstantiated stories and urban legends, Dad worked for Air NZ in the 90's as i was lucky enough to have the ranfurly shield, NPC Div 1 trophy and the bledisloe stashed under my bed one night because they came into town on a late flight....theyve obviously be restored since then but i can tell you they we're pretty fucked up back then, the rugby ball on the lid of the bledisloe was super dented and bent over
BUT...dont bloody take photos and shit (our court sessions you have to leave your phones), the shield should have turned up for the first challenge next year looking all shiny and nothing but a rumor that "something" went down in the off season
