their next shield victory over taranaki in 1959 would be their last for 51 years before the 2009 southland side broke the drought by beating canterbury 9-3 in christchurch. their six defences of the shield proved to be some of the more iconic shield games in the professional era including a 16-12 victory over arch-rivals otago in front of a sold-out rugby park, and a 9-6 victory over auckland days after the biggest snow storm ever recorded in the province led to fans having to shovel snow off the field the day before the game. after losing the shield to canterbury, the stags again claimed the shield from their south island rivals in 2011 in their most recent tenure which lasted two games. these southland sides were not headlined by regular all blacks like the teams from the 1930s and 1940s, instead they were made up mostly of locally grown talent educated at southland boys' high school such as captain jamie mackintosh, centurions jason rutledge, david hall, josh bekhuis and tim boys, and future scotland international john hardie.
