The Hawke's Bay Magpies have to quickly get over celebrating a big win over Canterbury with a Ranfurly Shield rugby challenge now looming next-up against Otago.
The crack at the famed Log o' Wood in Dunedin next Sunday materialised only when Otago beat Taranaki 30-19 in Inglewood on Sunday.
It came just 19 hours after a 20-19, post-siren triumph in the Magpies Mitre 10 Cup premiership-championship crossover match which gave Hawke's Bay its first win over Canterbury in 38 years.
The new challenge brings back memories of another of the great Magpies victories, another 20-19, last-minute (converted) try win when Hawke's Bay beat Otago in 2013 to win the Ranfurly Shield for the first time in 44 years.
In the Magpies team that day, celebrating his 25th birthday, was hooker Ash Dixon, who on Saturday captained the team to the latest win, scoring the crucial try as the game stretched into a third minute after the siren.
