@Stargazer said in Shield Snorters 2022:
Yuck.
Full time: Manawatū Evergreens 33 - 26 Shield Snorters Saracens
Damn, we really do need that downvote button.

@Nepia I hate losing to the Pooh. Not having seen our starting line-up & bench, I'm not sure whether I should be worried about this result for the Heartland Ranfurly Shield defences. The Heartland teams are a step down from Manawatū's development side, I guess, so they should also be a step down from ours.
Also don't know whether we'll have any players back from Super at the end of the month (think players like Flanders, who hasn't played much recently). Last year, we had Apikotoa, Visinia, G Evans and Toala back for the first defence.

@Nepia I totally agree, but I guess they don't know what else to post on FB & instagram until the next game. Although their social media skills have improved as regards club & some junior rugby, it is still totally shit with respect to rep rugby and completely absent for 1st XV. They also hardly use their website. They should take lessons from a provinces like Southland!

Here are the point scorers from the non first class match played by the Shield Snorters Saracens XV the other day which I lifted from the Manawatu Evening Standard's website.
Shield Snorters Saracens 26 (Josh Kaifa, Sheridan Rangihuna, Lewis Bush, Jimmi Harris, tries; Harry Godfrey 2, Hoera Stephenson, cons) HT: 14-19. -
@Stargazer Difficult to know who it is but he looks ideally suited to one of the jumping positions in the lineout given the extraordinary length of the current reach of his arms. Must question his speed around the field at the moment though although he could fend players off from a long way out.
