I really enjoyed game, there was some good play (in amongst some pretty ordinary stuff), and what I do enjoy about Mitre 10 cup anyway is watching the younger brigade coming through, there a few who look like they maybe alright at Super level, and although he already there I thought Fidow stood up a bit for Wgton, was surprised how much Savea impressed me, he never had a problem with being lazy or anything but I thought his workrate was pretty impressive .

Funny watching that yesterday I was waiting for the crowd to play silly buggers, not that they did or have done last while ( so don't get upset) , but I read something about Alan Hewson the other day and remembered why I used to enjoy Canterbury getting beaten immensely . Something old codgers of me and probably NZer's age tend to always remember.

We had no right to win that, but Wellington only themselves to blame. They had every opportunity to ice that game. Is JGB the white Cameron?

Burke an instant improvement on Cameron and must be persisted with.
This, absolutely this.
Been at a 50th, blimey, memories.

But really, you're going to take that pathetic excuse for a win. Well of course you will, you're a fil;thy Cantab. Without Bachop, though, Canterbury are grovelling toast. How embarrassing is it that you have to rely on the worst player in the comp to win, with an intercept no less.

Well done!

We did bring Cameron on to balance out the level at first five. And yes, I’ll take a golden point win, or any other fucking type of win at this point.

The crowds back in my day really loved to put it into Bob Lendrum too.

My memory is fading but didn’t Hewson wear gloves and pantyhose to protect against the cold at one stage?

Seems to ring a bell, but that may well be just my dislike for him showing through.

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 1:35 am**

This two games on at the same time is really fucking annoying

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 1:37 am**

Tasman will win easily.

Waikato however, they don't like swimming in a cold swimming pool (the weather is gash in Invergiggle)

Harbour ahead 13-10

The weather really is shit there isn’t it, beautiful day in Auckland and no crowd allowed, Sod’s law isn’t it

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 1:49 am**

I would usually go for the Mako in this match-up, as they have been playing an entertaining brand of footy for quite a while now but Harbour are not letting them play that game atm...Harbour need a nickname - The Not Nots? Inbetweeners? Bridge Wankers?

Half time down South. Southland lead 3 to 0

Glad I'm watching the other game.

NH ahead 16-10 at HT.

Wow, Tasman 2 men down and Christie scores an intercept try, NH making some odd choices here

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 2:19 am**

Fuck me NH making some really shit decisions

Yep, dumb fucking rugby.

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 2:28 am**

I reckon Stevenson was in front of Gatland there

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 2:43 am**

Whatever they are deciding, NH are now leading by 33 - 17 with 10 to go.

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 2:48 am**

Tasman are falling apart as they try to chase the game, passes going all over the show.

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 2:50 am**

It’s been a really stop start affair the the Waikato game ended 3-4 mins ago

40-17 now with 2 to go

How lucky were Waikato to get that win? A lot of half-pie efforts

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 2:53 am**

NH just scored their bp try and are 40 ~ 17, almost full time.

Holy hell - certainly did not even consider that as a possible result

Tasman get a consolation try in injury time and leave town well beaten. 40 ~ 24

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 3:02 am**

Final score 40-24.

Next up, Otago's first Shield defence against Hawke's Bay.

Time to sort the feed out.

EDIT: all ready for the Shield challenge.

I recall he wore fingerless gloves at one stage. Was in the day before internet so some of the Cantabrians did't have forums to go crook about him, so they just acted pretty shit instead, if the had a forum like this they may of just came in here and pretended they had an opinion that counted. Stu Wilson told me he didn't believe it when the ABs had a so called home test at Lancaster Park and couldn't get to sleep the night before with all these tossers standing outside the AB's hotel chanting Hewson's a wanker etc. Not one of the prouder times for so called AB supporters.

They holding just now, but suspect of Otago score a try they may really open the gap. But I with you on the C'mon the Bay.

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 4:46 am**

What a try from Fakatava! Came off the back of Josh Ioane missing touch from a penalty kick for touch.

Yep, great solo try.

He's been strong on both sides of the ball today.

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 5:03 am**

Huge moment consolidated by the try. A man down, time running out and needing to chase the game - it’s a tough spot for Otago.

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 5:04 am**

Lucky not to get a red card for that.

Haven't been overly impressed with this ref so far.

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 5:16 am**

Red card this time. Quite right, too.

Yep. Good call there.

HB are not losing this one.

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 5:17 am**

No complaints with that call.

The shield looks set to rack up some more frequent flyer points. It is certainly getting about this year.

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 5:21 am**

This is a thrashing. Well done Hawkes Bay, thoroughly deserved win and they backed up from a great win against Canterbury last weekend!

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 5:26 am**

Yesss!

28-9 and the Shield's on the road again.

Posted: **Sun Oct 04, 2020 5:26 am**

And we're off again. Well done Hawkes Bay.
