Southland wins Shield!

Well i've just watched the best game of rugby i've seen this season

It was a tough game by both sides and both teams had moments of control of the game but it sea sawed throughout the game

The crowd was great with great atmosphere Its games like this that is what our game is missing. Watching this game it brought back memories of watching games in the late 80's

Who watched and what did you think?

Was pretty Speical to witness something that hasn't happened in almost three generations. I'm sure this will stick it to the NZRFU that the smaller teams are the life blood of the sport

Southland for Air NZ cup Champs

I think it was a great game. "Absorbing". "One for the purists". "It was a game of two halves". "Rugby was the winner on the night". "Full credit to the lads". "Obviously".
