Hautapu Break the Marist Grip to Win the Final | All Blacks Defend the Fortress & Ryan Fox Wins

Ryan Fox wins The Open, Hautapu pull off a stunning comeback final, and the All Blacks make it 53 unbeaten at Eden Park — it was a massive weekend of New Zealand sport, and we cover the lot.

Part 3 of the ShedLife NZ Sport Weekly Wrap is here with Jason Davis, Quentin Hill and Mark Davis — your weekly round-up of Kiwi rugby, league, golf, combat sports and everything in between, straight from the shed in the Waikato.

This week, Quentin takes us inside Hautapu Sports' unforgettable Waikato Premier club rugby final victory over Hamilton Marist, storming back after falling 13–0 behind early to be crowned Waikato Breweries Shield champions. The boys also break down the All Blacks extending their remarkable 32-year Eden Park unbeaten record to 53 Tests with a six-try demolition of Ireland in the Nations Championship under new coach Dave Rennie, the NZ Warriors grinding out a win to hold second place on the NRL ladder, and Ryan Fox making New Zealand golf history at Royal Birkdale — the first Kiwi to win The Open since Bob Charles in 1963 and just the fourth New Zealander ever to win a major.

On the fight scene, Jason previews a big one for the Coromandel — Francis "The Punisher" Waitai defending his WBA Oceania super-middleweight title against Cowin Ray at Eventfinda Stadium on August 2 — plus the latest UFC action as Dricus du Plessis returns to beat Kamaru Usman in Oklahoma City. And Mark closes the show with the NZ BMX freestyle scene, the AK Crew, and the weekend jams at Vic Park and Franklin Farm.

Plus, the crew look ahead to the approaching NPC season and Waikato's upcoming squad announcement, the next Ranfurly Shield challenge, the All Blacks' tour of South Africa, and the Glasgow Commonwealth Games kicking off later this month.
