The Magpies have held tight to the Ranfurly Shield this season, but they now face a stiff challenge from the undefeated Tasman Mako. 

The Tasman’s will be aiming to make history, claiming the Shield for the first time, while Hawke’s Bay will be fighting to keep their title. 

Coach Brock James joined D’Arcy Waldegrave to discuss how the team plans to keep the Shield for another week. 

“Whatever opportunities present themselves to us, or whatever opportunities we can create during the game, we know we're gonna have to take them because there won't be a lot of them.”
