See-Saw match in Southland before Stags get some meat against the Northland Taniwha (Tom Murday) after the siren to tie the game up at 34 all.

Sopoaga nails the conversion to give the chocolates to Southland 36 - Northland 34.

They'll be dancing in the streets of Invercargill tonight.

Fancy pants jumper from the Stags. One for @Lord Logo's collection?

Loco goes over in the corner after the siren, 34-all & Sopoaga with the chance to win it for Southland..... NEVER LOOKED LIKE MISSING! Northland will be gutted, came from behind to take the lead twice that I saw, incl when down to 14. They pick up 2 BP, though & Southland a 4-try BP.

Ranfurly Shield up next, Hawkes Bay defending v Otago who've already had an unsuccessful challenge this year. They're currently 4th equal in the Championship but the Bay have a game in hand.

Early try in the corner for the Bay, West's kick goes astray (57% success rate! he'll need to get that a lot higher if he's gonna challenge for higher honours), 5-0. Fuck me, Tongia's in again! opposite corner. West gets this one, 12-0 & Otago must be wondering wtf is going on.

Try #3 & converted, 19-0 inside 10 minutes. All 3 have been from long range, Otago well ahead territory-wise but guilty of coughing up possession & obviously some shithouse D.

More shithouse D & the Bay have a BP with another one from 60m out. West adds the extras, 26-0. Otago will have the wind in the 2nd 40 but this ain't a 30-point wind. Gonna be a long flight back to Dunners, I feel.

Woodward been going pretty average Dc, though I never been a great fan of his so I be being a little harsh. He actually just got a week suspension for throwing a punch!

Wellington have been pretty ordinary haven't they. What is going on there? Is it coaching or cattle or a combination?

Is this a flow on from a rather ordinary 2014 Hurricanes performance?

Was watching NZ rugby show last week HJ, and Jeff Wilson seems to think one of Wellington's problems ,apart from injuries, is that Chris Boyd is taking over Canes, and before ITM started he was too busy with that to put in time with Wellington, especially with a few player falling over, and the feeling is with quick turnarounds etc if you not set up properly before season starts it pretty hard to correct things!
