@Snowy I'm still pondering. Obviously Red n black and going to win at a canter
but I have a sneaking suspicion Manawatu in Palmie could do it.A round robin would have been interesting. I reckon this Poo side are top 4.
I would have liked a round robin as well but would have gone in far too long

One of those games that you would be confident the Cantabs would win 9 times out of 10, and the margin would be about 6-10 points.

Palmy puts on a grey and windy day for this one, nominally 15 degrees, but down to 3 after the gale force wind chill.
Lots of spectators show up to fill up the 3k capacity of the showgrounds, most of them here for the stock cars the night before so don't know much about the rugger, but they eat the battered savs and cheer loudly anyway.
Manawatu front row shove the ball up their jumper and pick and go their way to territorial dominance. A last minute penalty for repeat infringements at the ruck session a 3-0 win to the green and white.

These two line ups are a lot closer than you would imagine when you first think of matching the two provinces up. Manawatu win the front row. Canterbury the second and the loosies (just) 9/10 is evens not much in the outside backs either.
Agree with your assessment 100%
Going to extra time!
Have to have a deeper think about the winner.

And had the same result...
