EPIC RANFURLY SHIELD CHALLENGE: Hawke's Bay v Tasman (Bunnings NPC 2024)

[@goldenchild19]

Can we get rid of Super Rugby and make the NPC the main competition please

[@zabaleta66]

Was hating rugby with the AB's not up to much but there's nothing like a stirring shield challenge to turn it around!!

[@johnbroadbelt]

Now don’t break the shield , and handle your piss unlike the last team

[@johngraham5948]

Wow! NZR definitely need to ditch SPR and strengthen the NPC that's the type of game that the public want to see especially a Ranfurly shield game

I myself was rooting for the convicts from the Bay but today they were robbed nicely by the Mako. Fins were up till the death 🦈

Why are they convicts?

used to call the bay home and enjoyed games at mclean park. great region with good people!

HB is trash lol boring parties Dunnaz way better bro

[@KatharineShaw-z8u]

Would have been an injustice had Tasman lost. They were the better team, Hawkes bay made far too many errors. They have had a good shield run over the last 4 years, the shield will be good for the Tasman region.

Tasman will lose next week to Wellington

[@troyocarroll]

An injustice - obviously a Tasman supporter. The Bay should have won that game but went into their shell and stopped playing, one kick down Tasman's end - game over.

[@Hncee]

Get Tavatavanawai in the ABs asap!!

[@Al-Berg]

He is Fijian!

[@RugbyLover86]

Too slow bro

[@beizman9472]

Good player but makes a lot of bad reads in defense. I'd say move him to inside center but he'd be expected to make even more defensive reads than at wing 😅

@@beizman9472 too big for centre bro centre not a part of the forwards g

What a game.Ranfurly shield Rugby at its best.Great competition.

[@philliptana5042]

This is why I love Provincial Rugby. Dump Franchise Rugby.

[@Fili248]

Rather have Tavatavanawai than Reece in the ABs

[@Insert.anger50]

Congratulations Tasman your first ranfurly sheild 👍

[@oscarbloomer3979]

Karma for HB locals for booing the last kick. 😄 🤣 😂

[@markchapman4466]

Great win Makos 🖤

[@ricgee1990]

Sad to see Aumua's progression from a close replacement of Nonu in the way that he USED to play, he was a wrecking ball who had unstoppable go forward gain meters, ever involved with intent and physicality at almost every breakdown, hope he gets back to his true potential, You gun do it Aumua !!!!!

[@gjreedy9526]

Would love to see him return to his previous team! Especially with Ardie playing there too I think...

[@wirihanatewhata2274]

Christy back in the All Blacks and Tavatavanawai

[@nocaphen]

Linc mcclutchie is underrated asf. He and that whole magpies team came back and had me ready to turn the TV off. I'm just watching the highlights of it again because it was a mean game lol.

Im a Hugh supporter of first Grassroots Rugby and second Provincial Domestic Rugby and third the New Zealand All Blacks Rugby I never supported Super Rugby it took away the very heart of New Zealand Rugby in the heartland being Grassroots Rugby level which covers from the kids and youth to high schools to club rugby that feed into the New Zealand Provincial Rugby level so the super rugby franchise concept set up back in 1996 when rugby first turned professional a year after the 1995 World Cup in South Africa who won it and the union vs league wars in 1995 as well was like a number of provinces makes up one super province New Zealand have five teams its base on the five main city centres Auckland Hamilton Wellington Christchurch Dunedin in NZ it took away the Grassroots and Domestic aspects of New Zealand rugby which is vital that is where history and tradition and up and coming players and local community support it all over New Zealand it also took away the competitiveness of the NPC teams and comp and it got weaker and weaker over time in 1996 back then it was the super 12 5 New Zealand teams and 3 Australia teams and 4 South Africa teams before 1996 I was a Hugh supporter of the NEW ZEALAND NPC that was New Zealand Domestic Rugby Championships there were three divisions division 3 had 9 provinces teams division 2 had 9 provinces teams and division 1 the top division had 9 provincial teams and the log of wood challenges and promotion and relegation follow with the 3 divisions championships there were many many ALL BLACKS who were all fully available in all the division one teams they were fully strong provincial teams back then it had a test feel about those games you had up and coming NZ players from the Grassroots rugby playing along side the All Blacks and the fanfare about it was massive it was a tribal feeling to it the All Blacks teams were selected from the division 1 province teams heres an idea NZRFU should have made at the time back in 1995 and 1996 to make the NPC all the provincial teams in the three divisions professional have them professionally set up each team privately own or own by private investors or have wealthy businessman own them and own the stadium Parkes of each NPC team for home games from marketing of the merchandise of each team and players and media and sponsorships of each NPC team and then have three professional domestic rugby championships independence from one another and own privately examples like sky sports could own NPC division 1 championship to broadcast division 1 NPC games or fox own NPC division 2 championship to broad cast division 2 games or super sports South Africa own NPC division 3 championship board cast those games there's automatic promotion and relegation between the championships there's no bottom team of say division 2 face the top team of division 3 face off all automatic plus there are salary caps in the three championships each beginning with division three is the lowest then division two is higher and then the top division division 1 is the highest the log of wood challenges still go ahead between teams from division 1 2 and 3 to make it more entertaining having All Blacks in all the NPC division 1 provincial teams also have international rugby players in there as well imaged having top players from the Wallabies and the Springboks and rugby players around the world say each province team has 6 international players in all these division 1 provincial teams it gives the NEW ZEALAND NPC rugby division 1 championship a NEW ZEALAND rugby and INTERNATIONAL rugby flavour to it these are just ideas I believe it can still happen today Super Rugby Pacific today is no good its struggling no one is interested specially in Australia It struggles in Australia sporting market AFL and LEAGUE those sports codes are so dominant and rugby is behind SOCCER and CRICKET in Australia what do those professional sports have in common in Australia they all have a domestic competitions and it works and it all ways will over super rugby not the way the NZRFU are doing they want to get rid of domestic provincial rugby super rugby pacific is not a true national domestic rugby competition its a regional rugby competition between many countries involved a true National Domestic Competition is played within the country to be the top team in the country that be the Bunnings NPC provincial rugby competition fits that in this professional sporting era and as of today 2024 the silver lake deal with the NZRFU and the NZRPA cause a lot of division within New Zealand Rugby and the Pinkerton report saying the NZRFU cannot support all of NZ rugby and the model they had is not fit to run the modern professional game of rugby in New Zealand the NZRFU are also wanting to get rid of the provincial rugby and the provincial unions put there foot down and want to form there own domestic competition good on them for standing up to these changes Its time for Rugby in New Zealand to do away with the Super Rugby franchise system its done its time its time to fold up and return to its Domestic NPC provincial roots professionalise all the 27 NPC rugby teams make them the rugby franchises and let them run and fund the NPC championships seperate from the NZRFU and All Blacks made to be available to the NPC teams just like I mention in the above but work together with the NZRFU as partners to help fund and run and own NZ Grassroots Rugby NZRFU should just focus on professionally running the ALL BLACKS and New Zealand test sides 7s and 15s Mens and Women's and NZ Grassroots Rugby and be partners with the privately own NPC teams woking together running and funding and owning NZ Grassroots Rugby
