Well Done Canterbury

I have been a Wellington rugby supporter for all of my more than 40 years, and it's never been easy, but tonight was humiliating. Until late in the second half it looked like Wellington wouldn't even score a point.

It was a game which promised to be one of the great Shield games. Maybe even like the classic game between Canterbury and Auckland in the 1980s. I took my kids along in anticipation of seeing one of the biggest games of their lives. However, it was not to be. Wellington didn't fire a shot for most of the game, and when they did it was far far too late.

Well done Canterbury. I hope you respect the Ranfurly Shield better than my team did. You should, because you always do.
