    @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

    anyone seen updated versions of this? seemed like a great idea when they did it and updating it would have helped build some hype

    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.

    @Bovidae Yeah, that's really poor scheduling. They could have moved a game to Sunday.

    @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.

    I'm no fan of Waikato being Shield holders but would enjoy Wellington losing it after a week just for entertainment.

    Lol I’m sure the Shield would rather be sitting in beautiful Wellington than horrific Hamilton. 😁

    Go the Lions. 🦁

    Wellington should be strong favourites. Playing at home and on a 5-game win streak. We'll be the plucky underdogs. 😉

    Should be a good game. If Wellington play as well as they did against HB they will have a good chance of holding the shield.

    The likely Wellington starting side

    1 Xavier Numia, Oriental-Rongotai
    2 Asafo Aumua, Avalon
    3 Pekahou Cowan, Petone
    4 James Blackwell, Petone
    5 Dominic Bird, Upper Hutt RAMS
    6 Caleb Delany, Old Boys University
    7 Du’Plessis Kirifi, Northern United
    8 Peter Lakai, Petone
    9 TJ Perenara, Northern United
    10 Aidan Morgan, Marist St Pats
    11 Pepesana Patafilo, Tawa
    12 Peter Umaga-Jensen, Wainuiomata
    13 Billy Proctor, Marist St Pats
    14 Julian Savea, Oriental-Rongotai
    15 Ruben Love, Wainuiomata

    The Waikato side vs Otago. Id like to see McKenzie back at 1st

    1. Ollie Norris (Hautapu)
    2. Rhys Marshall
    3. George Dyer (Fraser Tech)
    4. James Tucker (Hamilton Marist)
    5. Hamilton Burr (Hautapu) – co-captain
    6. Samipeni Finau (Hamilton Old Boys)
    7. Patrick McCurran (Fraser Tech)
    8. Jack Lam (Hamilton Marist)
    9. Xavier Roe (Hamilton Old Boys)
    10. Taha Kemara (Te Awamutu Sports)
    11. Daniel Sinkinson (Melville)
    12. D’Angelo Leuila (Fraser Tech)
    13. Bailyn Sullivan (Hamilton Marist)
    14. Tana Tuhakaraina (United Matamata Sports)
    15. Damian McKenzie (University) – co-captai
