After six successful defences, Counties relinquished the shield to Hawke’s Bay in August 2014. Great playersAlan Dawson, with 201 games between 1976 and 1989, has played more matches for Counties than anyone else. In four prolific seasons between 1993 and 1996, Danny Love scored a record 698 points for the union. Counties fans will always maintain that local stalwarts such as Errol Brain and Jim Coe deserved higher honours. Andy Dalton captained Counties when they were at their peak. His leadership qualities were recognised when he assumed the All Black captaincy in 1981 for the controversial home series against the Springboks.
But for a training injury he would have become the first captain to lift the World Cup following New Zealand’s victory over France in the 1987 final. The ‘elegant and gifted’ centre Bruce Robertson is one of Counties’ most respected All Blacks. Between 1972 and 1981 Robertson played 102 games for the national team, including 34 tests.

Counties Manukau rugbyA South Auckland rugby sub-union affiliated to the Auckland union was established in 1926. In 1955 South Auckland Counties was formed with full union status. The name was shortened to Counties the following year and in 1996 it became the Counties Manukau Rugby Football Union. Now known as the Steelers (a reference to the Glenbrook steel mill near Waiuku), Counties established a reputation for playing fast running rugby. The All Black winger (and record-holder for the most World Cup tries) Jonah Lomu was one of a number of great players to grace the Counties backline in the 1990s. Counties Manukau currently plays in the professional ITM Cup.
Along with Waikato, Thames Valley, Bay of Plenty, King Country and Taranaki, Counties Manukau is part of the Chiefs Super Rugby franchise. Great moments in Counties Manukau rugbyAfter finishing runners-up twice in the first few years of the competition, Counties won the National Provincial Championship in 1979. In 2012, Counties won the second-tier ITM Championship and was promoted to the Premiership, which is contested by the top seven provincial teams. The coveted Ranfurly Shield proved more elusive. In 1979 Counties lost 11–9 to Auckland, starting a sequence of agonisingly close shield attempts. In 1981 Counties led near the end of the challenge against Waikato only to see Waikato kick two late, controversial penalties to retain the shield with a 20-all draw.
His form was particularly outstanding on the 1976 tour of South Africa, which made a profound impact on him as both a player and a person. In the decisive fourth test, which the All Blacks lost 15–14, Robertson was denied an almost certain try when he was taken out of play while attempting to regather a chip kick. The standard of refereeing on this tour left a bad taste in the mouths of many of the tourists. Robertson was also disturbed by what he saw of the apartheid system. His abhorrence of this racial policy saw him emulate test captain Graham Mourie by making himself unavailable to play against the 1981 Springboks.
