@mikedogz interesting but a bit whingy

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!

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

No shot for Northland, it's an NZR conspiracy!

And Manuwatu, but who cares about that

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?

[Machpants]

@Stargazer LOL Yep

[Canes4life]

@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.
