@taniwharugby Nope, if the Magpies retain the Shield tomorrow, they first have a defence v Manawatu and then Wellington.

@Stargazer moral of the story, if you gonna lose it, lose to either Northland or Wellington, def not Manawatu, as that opens a path up for Ta$man to get a shot, and no one wants that

Wellington aren't great at winning it, and even worse at holding it

There's not one acceptable option on that list. We'll just have to take the not lose it option.

@Nepia thats the selfish option, we are looking at continuing the Shield-go-round, as we would very likely lose to one of NH or Waikato
