Wellington v Hawkes (RS)

Well done Hawkes, always good to see the shield in the provinces.

@Canes4life no need to get defensive mate. But really the yellow seats say it all. I'm sure guys like yourself appreciated it, and that's not taking away from how good Wellington have been the last 12 months.. just would have been nice to see the city vote with their feet and show up.

@J77 you say that like we’ve taken the Shield for granted. It’s been awesome seeing the Shield in the communities around Wellington. No need for stupid comments like that mate.
HB deserve their victory.
Yeah, reckon all of the NPC teams appreciate the Ranfurly Shield. If Auckland won it, reckon people would go nuts for it, because they haven't had it for so long.

Well done Hawkes ..hope you all are on the beers!, Shield wins still mean something!

There would be more people at Sky Stadium then you realise... probably 4000-5000 there, which by NPC standards is solid.

Thank you, this supporter here is well on the way to a monumental hangover.

@Nepia Imagine what the scoreline would have been like had the Magpies had a team stacked full of players good enough to be awarded Hurricanes contracts instead of making do with players that can't cut the mustard in their own Super rugby catchment.

Man that was a great match. Shame Wellington supporters don't turn up in numbers for any of there teams.
Glad the shield can work on it's tan in the HB summer again.
I think Wellington are still the clear favorites to win it all.
Not trying to not pick but think we need to use some of our big runners inside/outside second receiver. MMT and flanders and Thompson much more dangerous out wider.
Anyway great for the blood pressure another 2 point or less HB win.

Great win for the Bay. Well done enjoy the log in the off season!
NB: Love this competition. Lots of close games, players keep putting themselves up for SR. Hope those corporate piston wristed gibbons at NZRFU and that tosspot of a CEO don’t screw over the provinces. They keep trying.
