Semi Finals

Top five basically competing for 4 spots

Canterbury and Tasman with a good run in

Auckland vs Wellington will have a big impact
Depending on other results the Auckland vs Harbour game could be just as important.

Relegation

Hard last two matches for Counties and Taranaki. Marginally easier for Counties

I think the top 4 are sorted and Taranaki will be relegated. The only issue is the finishing order for the semi-finalists. I suspect it'll be Akl Tasman Canterbury Wtn.

However my tipping is appalling so.....

Probably.

Wellington should be favourites for their last two matches. However they aren't easy games. There's an outside chance they stop dead and Harbour benefits

The Auck win over Wellington was a killer. Now Welly find NH breathing down their neck.
CM have to scrapes many points as they can against a NH team with a new incentive
