No problem,was a bloody good game and a great result for rugby in general.

Best result anyone could wish for ... sooner or later Auckland or Canterbury will lock it all up for a few years though! Then it's boring again!

Counties retained the shield on Saturday, in front of over 12,000 people at Pukekohe, awesome to see the fans that the shield brings out,

now on to neighbors and Chief's partners Waikato, hopefully bring in an even bigger crowd

...it's great to see a bit of life in the shield and the good stuff it carries with it around the place...

Yeah right ... there was a pretty small crowd at the game when Waikato lost the shield to Otago! Served them right, has been interesting since then!
