@Dan54 I'm just glad Auckland get a challenge - first challenge since 2015
Pleased to do you guys a solid and get you a challenge - even if it's incidental to the main plan.
It's a bit shit in a 14 team competition that some teams can go 10 years without a challenge - and it would only take a minor bit of juggling and effort to ensure that didn't happen.
Perhaps not such a piss off when you've had the Shield for hundreds of challenges.
Plenty of big rugby fans in Ta$man who died before we won it!

Christie has had a strong game. Quick thinking and quick tap gets a try.
Ta$man 16 Wellington 10
Probably the player of the match for me - along with Tavatavanawai - but, Finlay more involved. Dominated his opposite.
Ta$man lineout fell apart, but then Wellington's was pretty dodgy as well in the second half.
Got on top in the scrums - especially once Numia left - which was important.
Thought the Ta$man midfield edged the Wellingtonians as well.

Fucking typical Welly.
I hear Higgins had a great game on defence...🎣 Baffled at Patafilo being on the bench and a makeshift wing starting.
Heard Delaney got stuck in, worth persevering with at blindside? Also heard the lineout was shit.
We traditionally aren't a great Shield team. Just too inconsistent, more often than not we don't seem to embrace the pressure
