Well the Hawke's Bay v Tasman game lived up to the billing, hell of a match. Hawke's Bay had it won by scoring a late try and then Toala kicking an incredible side line conversion. Only to inexplicably try to take it back to 2010 and grind out ruck after ruck with 3 minutes to play around the halfway line.They needed to get a kick into the Tasman 22m and force them to try to run it back, but instead the inevitable happened and they gave up a stupid holding on penalty at 48m, which the Tasman replacement pivot kicked with metres to spare to take the shield off us.
Absolutely gutted.
