      Yeah, I know, it's a bit early for a thread. But the fact that we get a challenge brings back memories. And Brad Weber is getting it from some Bay fans after that tweet haha.

      .

      Anyway, our last challenge, when we won the Shield off Counties, was on 30 August 2014. We successfully defended the Shield in that period 11 times, until that day that Brad is now reminded of.

          Shit, I had literally just started watching Taranaki-Waikato... had been avoiding the match thread to avoid spoiling the result - then saw this thread title jump out at me.
          Now switching to watch the "condensed" version of it instead.

              @number-10 Yeah, I read that; it's shit news.

              Ozich confirmed Dixon will miss the remainder of the season with his knee injury.
              
              Evans collected an eye injury but should be available for Thursday night's Ranfurly Shield Challenge against Waikato in Hamilton, Power collected a sprig to his hand and a decision on his availability won't be made until after scans are done and Allardice was suffering from a virus which forced him from the field.

                Waikato has named their team for their first defence of the Ranfurly Shield when they take on Hawkes Bay at FMG Stadium Waikato on Thursday night.

                In the backs there is only one change, with Bailyn Sullivan coming off the bench to start on the right wing. Sullivan’s inclusion to the starting line up has Tyler Campbell moving to the reserves.
                
                On the bench Otorohanga duo of Murray Iti and Mosese Dawai come back into the match day 23 to cover the loose forwards and outside backs respectively.

                  Magpies:

                  1 Ben May
                  2 Kianu Kereu-Symes
                  3 Joe Apikotoa
                  4 Tom Parsons
                  5 Michael Allardice
                  6 Marino Mikaele-Tu'u
                  7 William Tremain
                  8 Gareth Evans
                  9 Brad Weber
                  10 Tiaan Falcon
                  11 Mason Emerson
                  12 Pasqualle Dunn
                  13 Stacy Ili
                  14 Jonah Lowe
                  15 Jamie-Jerry Taulagi.

                  Reserves:
                  16 Jason Long
                  17 Mark Braidwood
                  18 Pouri Rakete-Stones
                  19 Geoff Cridge
                  20 Josh Kaifa
                  21 Folau Fakatava
                  22 Sasa Tofilau
                  23 Michael Buckley.

                  .

                  HBRU still hasn't announced the squad on its social media, but this one is from the Mitre 10 Cup website. HBT has Allardice at 4 and Parsons at 5. Anyway, Kereru-Symes is already our 3rd hooker, who is now covered on the bench by a prop (who can play at 2). I hope KK-S can stay fit and healthy. Quite interesting to see Tremain getting his first start ahead of Kaifa, who has been good thus far. Dunn and Tofilau rotate again.

                          It must be quite special for the Tremain family to see Will getting his first start in a Ranfurly Shield Challenge.

                                7:30pm your time - well I hope it is, 5:30pm here and I can watch as soon as I get home from work.

                                  Oh no, just got back to the flat and my scarf, beanie and flag are missing. I suspect by what also is missing from my fridge it all points to a certain Mitre10 Cup player from another province (who also happens to have had a family connection with Waikato). Does that warrant a 111 call to the police to report vital HB supporters gear missing?

                                    Waikato 00 - 07 The Bay after 5 minutes, is it too soon to get our hopes up yet (especially with Tiaan Falcon looking to be carrying a shoulder injury)?

                                        Dunn back on, but at the cost of seven points. 24 minutes now gone in a fairly even contest so far but with the home side holding a slight possession and territorial advantage.

                                          A bit of relief at last with Tom Parsons over for a driving maul try in the left hand corner after 36 minutes

                                            WTF, who knew you could get a penalty for having your mouthguard in a sock ... and it could be the game changing penalty.

                                            Stupid by Dunn to do that tackle after the earlier one, that's Solomone Kata level dumb.

                                            Also, that dipshit Lose called us Of Plenty.

                                              So basically two of the Waikato tries are due to stupid Magpies mistakes. We're still in this.

                                                    @nepia I'm still spewing over that one. Surely Reece must not have been the requisite 10 metres back from the line of touch until he was allowed to advance.

Should have kicked those two penalties, then their frustrations with the interpretation of the ref (Evans and Weber have permanent WTF faces) would be less of an issue.
