Waikato vs Otago - Ranfurly Shield
-
I just read that the WRU will be having a Ranfurly Shield parade on Wed. A good decision to bring back some of the old traditions, even if the parade isn't on the morning of the game like the good old days.
Let's hope we get to have more parades next season!

I remember the 93 win over Auckland. At that time i could only ever remember Canterbury and Auckland holding the Shield and it was hard to see anyone beating Auckland to win the Shield. Still one of my absolute favourite days as a Waikato fan. That win was bigger than big. I recall the parades, getting the see the Shield up close. It was pretty cool.

My mates and I went to Eden Park for the previous RS challenges in 1989 and 1991 but didn't go to the 1993 game. I like to think that helped.
1997 was fun though.

@hooroo if we won the Shield, I reckon it'd be huge up here, having not had it in my lifetime!
Just getting a challenge is a rarity for some teams these days, let alone winning the damn thing!

Question: is Declan O'Donnell injured? If so, is he out for the season? I think he hasn't played since round 2?
Probably. Both O'Donnell brothers haven't played since the early rounds.

Brendon Pickerall at his pedantic best,he pulls Otago up for an accidental obstruction ,which really did not interrupt the play as the commentators were saying..then he spends about 2m looking at an illegal cleanout which really and truthfully sum the guy up.
In return, I'll support you today!
