Statistically Challenged – the Ranfurly Shield

@mikedogz interesting but a bit whingy

Looks like it was written under another name by @Chris-B

By bit I assume you mean very.

I look forward to Richard doing a review of all 13 year eras of the Shield - he's going to be in for a shock.

I checked his Twitter, he's a Canes fan and he's complaining about how his province is treated. Irony.

@Higgins I could have given Richard the statistics for his excellent article!

[Chris B.]

@Nepia He's certainly going to find Wellington has had a lot more challenges than Ta$man!!!

And Manuwatu, but who cares about that

Go Southland!!!

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?
