Where did the trend of wrapping letters around one another to form a club logo begin, I've always wondered? It looks ridiculous.

Have you seen the alternative Wellington logo? That's even worse than Taranaki and Hawke's Bay haha.

Ergh it's a travesty! Such a weird thing to do.

Very Celtic-looking. I kinda like it.

Its probably the most famous logo in rugby. Recognise it?

Barbarians. The interlocking letters are like a scrum.

But why was it made like that in the first place? It's such an absurd design.

I said earlier it looks very celtic, so maybe that's the influence. https://www.google.com/search?q=cel...w#hl=en&q=celtic+letter+designs&tbm=isch&um=1

Boy, you guys missed it! Right in the middle of the Manawatu/Southland match the channel cut away to nekkid wimmens. Not sure what it was - just saw a lot of boobs dangling in my face. Nothing of interest to me, so I fast-forwarded until the game came back on, but all I could think about was how much you fellas would have loved it!

man ITM cup eh, you blink and all of a sudden all the teams have played 5-6 games.

Big win for waikato and man they needed it. They will be much better with this new halfback from otago. O'Donnell was ok but I didn't like the way he was playing it was too indirect and predictable and overall blunting the waikato attack.

I think I heard Waikato have the next shield challenge? I have a feeling it's going to come full circle lol!?

If Counties manages to defend the Shield against Waikato, they only have 1 more challenge left, in the final round, against Southland.
