I was at this game, what a game.
Not really much of a Hawkes Bay fan, but I have never seen a crowd that good. Right from the let go they smelt blood, and towards the end whenever Hawkes Bay stopped Wellington to retain the lead the place just erupted, it was like a jumbo jet. Don't know what it must 've been on TV, but it was bloody loud.
