The Ranfurly Shield Jinx
Wellington have now lost 10 challenges in a row - the last three results against Canterbury have been a last minute loss, a draw, and a 1-point loss.
Friday nights game shows what is so good about the Ranfurly Sheild. If only NPC points had been on offer, no team in the world would have withstood the Wellington onslaught. But the sheild makes you defend just a little bit longer, tackle a bit harder, and run a bit faster.
Am I disappointed that Wellington lost - course I am. But I'm also glad that the Ranfurly Shield is still such a hard bugger to win. When we eventually do win it, it will be so much sweeter.
