Mostly a battle for positions between the top four

BOP could steal a top four spot though. Playing Otago and Northland, the teams directly ahead of them, helps their chances.

Surely Southland can't escape this

BOP fans need to cheer for Waikato

[Bovidae]

The top 4 could be decided tonight if BOP don't beat Otago.

[taniwharugby]

My pick is the top 4 will be:
Waikato
Otago
HB
Northland

Otago, BOP & Southland all have 3 games left.

Which will see us travel to Waikato, making this weekends fixture important for confidence, especially with Waikato having a shield challenge in the final weekend too.
