Fascinating last round at the bottom of the table.
Upper Hutt, Island Bay and North Wellington can all control their own destiny by winning. Can all be relegated. Yet can all survive if they only draw, and Upper Hutt and Island Bay can survive a loss if the other result goes their way. For NW to survive with a draw would mean a massive loss for IB to lose on goal difference, so NW really need to win. Adding to the spice is UH and NW plating each other. Might be worth a watch.

Prediction?
Upper Hutt benefit the most from not losing. So I can see Rory having a lot of time in training this week making sure things are tight at the back and looking to win on the break. Having said that, he has a squad with a very low average age, so could be a dangerous tactic. Suspect if they do get in front, they will look to protect it.
