The Shield

[Gunner]

Pinched the below graphic from the BOP site. Quite interesting as I've never been bothered to work out when/where we might end up with a shield challenge, but this makes it easy.

It's looking pretty unlikely that we get a challenge this season. For that to happen we need one of the following scenarios to play out.

I'm thinking option B is the most likey, followed closely by A, with C almost zero chance.

A:
Canterbury beat Otago.
Canterbury beat Southland.
Counties beat Canterbury.
Counties beat Hawkes Bay.
We beat Counties.

B:
Otago beat Canterbury.
Manawatu beat Otago.
Manawatu beat BOP.
We beat Manawatu.

C:
Southland beat Canterbury
Southland beat Auckland
Southland beat Manawatu
Wellington beat Southland
We beat Wellington
