Final: Canterbury vs Wellington
-
22 years of waiting. Blackwell, Kirifi, Bird, Numia the unsung heroes of this team.
Sheck deserves a Hurricanes contract, he’s stepped up time and time again.
Commiserations Cantabs.
Man I am happy.

Agree on Sheck. He got his chances and really took it

Was supporting Wellington in this game.... but jeez, Kirifi really is a dick, innit?
Between his antics, and the partisan crowd at a dodgy Wgtn Sports Bar... if it had been anybody but ChCh, or Akl, I'd have considered switching allegiance.@Kruse said in Final: Canterbury vs Wellington:

Well done Wellington, played bloody well tonight and the last few weeks also, well deserved (losing to Northland was the catalyst

Don't know what Kirifi has done, apart from play well, he surely captains the team well.

He is a knob. On that last scrum pen he just decided to aggressively shove a cantab when he was walking back, for no reason.
Hei aha.
Woooo the fucken hoooo!

Fantastic Final ,incredible performance from the Lions not just in this match but to string such an unbeaten run together over the season truly amazing
Nga mihinui ki a koutou Wellington Lions
Possibly the best forward performance i have seen from a Lions pack in a very long time thought that final score flattered the Cantabs
Congrats to the lions supporters on the thread -

Look, I'm also from the 'Naki... and understand the instinct for a bit of provincial patriotism.
The guy's a grub.
Constant after-the-ball stuff. Shoving, mouthing off, just... being a dick.
“Oh... you want the game to be tiddly-winks!”
No. I want to be able to have a beer with my opponent after the match. -

@Dan54 was probably the best he has played tonight for some time.
Not sure I'd rate him as a captain either, but he is surrounded by some quality players in form right now too.
Wellington playing some great running rugby too, which is good to see, especially some of the young uns they got
Probably one of pickerills better games too, but still unsure how he managed to get it if based on rankings of refs.

No. I want to be able to have a beer with my opponent after the match.Hes not so bad. Leader of an impressive forward display
Blackwell and Bird both were impressive. I've slagged Blackwell off at times for the Canes but he stepped up week after week for mostly the full game
Wellington were lucky (esp compared to the Canes and Wellington in recent years) that they had very few injuries. I thought our luck might have run out with Cowan out but both TH props did very well. And Numia once again luckily lasted for the full match as our replacement LH is poor
Lakai at 19 is surely a future AB. Delany is my biggest improver. Numia was a close 2nd. And Kirifi rounded out a great forwrad display. To do what I thought wouldn't happen. Even after Auckland I still had my doubts
Final point. Aumua lineout throwing was first rate in this game. We finally did it.

@hydro11 Kirifi spoke very well ,obviously pushes boundaries on the field but to me its how you act once the final whistle goes and i think Du Plessis displayed plenty of class and respect in his interview

@taniwharugby I think he has been good all season really. I was standing behind the Wellington bench in their preseason against the Naki, and was listening to him talking to players, and just sounded so impressive. We will agree to disagree, I think he a good captain. And he's grounded, heard after one game when the commentator came up and said well commiserations mate, his reply?
Why. noone has died, we only lost, it's still just a game we love playing, but a game!
