Final round of the season before the playoffs starts tonight in Dunedin. Most teams still have plenty to play for in this final weekend.
The four Premiership semi-finalists have already been determined (Canterbury, Wellington, Auckland, Taranaki), but they are all playing for a home semi (and possibly home final). The Wellington vs Taranaki class will be key in this regard - the winner could well get a home semi, while the loser would likely have an away semi against an on fire Canterbury side. Though neither Waikato or Hawke's Bay are in playoff contention this is a crucial match as the Ranfurly Shield in on the line. Hawke's Bay will be desperate for a win, not only to take the Shield off Waikato, but also to avoid relegation to the Championship next season.
3/4 Championship semi-finalists have been decided (Counties, Otago, Tasman), with three teams (Northland, Manawatu, and Southland) fighting for the 4th position. Northland need to upset an out-of-form Counties to make the playoffs, otherwise the winner of the Southland vs Manawatu match will secure the 4th spot. Otago need to secure an upset win over Auckland to secure a home semi-final, otherwise they will have to rely on North Harbour somehow managing to upset Tasman....
I'm picking we will see the following semis next weekend:
Canterbury - Taranaki
Wellington - Auckland
Counties - Southland
Tasman - Otago
