does golden point exist for the Shield or is that done at 80?

This is the rugby I enjoy most.

Is there no shot clock for the NPC?

This has been a great game for the non aligned, but the ref should've blown that sealing off penalty much earlier.

Dumb play by Hawkes Bay.

Cracking game.
Congrats Mako

Think he'll remember that kick for the rest of his life.

In the 80's and 90's, that would have been "never paying for a beer ever again" territory.

Serves Hawke's Bay right for trying to close the game out too far out.

What a kick by Parata.

Always fun seeing the Shield change hands unless your team is the holder

What a kick by the young Parata

Wowza. Bring on next week. Whoop.

@taniwharugby For some reason Coxon played the whole game.

What a kick to win it. Mabey could have penalised HB for sealing off at the end prior to the final penalty.

taniwharugby

it does make you wonder when HB were playing as well as they did, why they then shut up shop and play the clock down you run the risk of exactly that happening.

Game worthy of 2 unbeaten sides

Yes boy well done Ta$man!

Congrats @Chris-B your foreign backs outplayed our foreign backs on the night.

A kick that his grandkids will be talking about.

Love seeing the youngโ€™uns in the crowd firing up after that kick.

@Canes4life Wouldnโ€™t it be ironic if we won it off Ta$man then lost it to Hawkes Bay in 3 weeks time ๐Ÿ˜‚

Agree. But perhaps Mabey was wanting to add to the drama for it to be the last play ๐Ÿ˜€
