Mako create history
By Chris Valli
The Tasman Mako have made provincial rugby history with their first ever Ranfurly Shield win, following a nail-biting 25-24 triumph over Hawke’s Bay in Napier. In what was their fifth challenge for the shield and 51 years on from its last visit, the Log o’ Wood is returning to Nelson and Marlborough. Continued on page 2.
