I didn't see this game but Franks vs Big Karl in the scrums.

So, I was highly annoyed last night that Luke Whitelock showed zero joy or even interest in having won the Shield and when asked directly how special it was to win it, he completely danced around the topic. This is fucking shit. Even when he received the Shield it was a half-hearted lift and barely a grin.
Then this morning I hear a RS interview with Luke Romano and it's just the opposite. Still out of breath, he was at pains to talk about how special it was to win it. Much, much better. Pretty sure I saw Romano give the Shield a smooch as well.

Another @shark thread where he's gloating in his usual 'subtle' manner

Not much sport on if this deserves a thread.
You don't think some kind of marker - not a good one - was laid down here? The lack of reaction from Whitelock isn't a great omen, or is it just a reflection on him do you think? I'd rather think it was the latter.

A well thought out thread topic in my humble opinion.
I was a bit disappointed at Luke’s log reception too given we had beaten the old southern foe and how well we had actually played.

Yes, I couldn't agree with me more, too.

Somewhat related to the OP, I was a bit disappointed by how unexcited most of the Canterbury players were when they won the game last night. There was no hugging, no kissing, no tears of joy and no football-esque jumping up and down on the spot in unison. As much as it pains me to admit it as a proud Canterbury supporter, I just don't think many of our players care that much about the Ranfurly Shield. Perhaps it's because they've had so much provincial success over the past decade, perhaps it's because some of these players have just been involved in a Super Rugby three-peat? I'm not sure the reason but they didn't seem as excited as I'd have hoped.
