Ranfurly Shield
-
Had to come back and look at this as I couldn't remember the draw implications for Wellington.
Waikato in with a fine chance on Saturday with a double incentive of likely topping the pool. Wellington with the chance to lock the Shield in the cupboard and concentrate on the NPC.
Have Otago given them the wake up call they need? Can Wellington avoid getting on the shortest Shield reign list again?

@Crucial Wellington will also likely top the pool if they win on Saturday so it’s a massive game to win. Forecast for Saturday is that it will be bucketing down.

Really. OK looked up the games remaining and they could do. Wellington are 2nd 3 points behind Waikato. BOP is third with a game in hand 1 point behind Wellington. HB is three points behind Wellington. So if wellington win both games and stop Waikato getting a bonus point they could do it if other results go their way
Wellington play Waikato and CM (away)
Waikato play Wellington and BOP (home)
BOP play HB (H), Northland (H) and Waikato (away)
HB play BOP (away) and Ta$man (H)If Wellington stay injury free (esp Numia) and they beat Waikato then they may (I never get my hopes up with Wellington) do it. Amazing after some dreadful team performances after the first three games

Games at 4.35. Forecast is for rain and southerlies. Not the best although forecasts are often wrong. Even for the next day.

And exactly the same time as the Black Ferns test against Japan (curtain-raiser to the Bledisloe Cup game). You would think that even a hastily arranged women's test wouldn't have to clash with a NPC game.

come on waikato!!

also stop distracting the thread from Bay of Plenty holding the shield at season's end you fuckers

@Stargazer read the graphic my friend
Waikato are ahead of Wellington on the table, and thus will win the Shield in the next Challenge
When BOP wins their game in hand they will be ahead of Waikato, and thus will win the Shield. Season ends.
It's really very simple.
