Southland Rugby beats Taranaki in 1959 to win Ranfurly Shield

Hurrah for Robin Archer
And all his merry men
For through their noble efforts
We'll see the shield again -
They walloped Taranaki
Before you could count ten.

We'll greet the noble warriors
When home they all return;
The fatted calf we'll slaughter
And incense we will burn -
(But up in Taranaki 
The heads are looking stern).

For as the game proceeded
The trend was well revealed,
(Though no one knew the answer
When both teams took the field) -
But now there is no doubt at all
That Southland holds the Shield.
