And if it wasn't for that Twit Micheal fifi, who scored two last minute winners we'd still be three points clear of wellington.
The maths is simple from here in, in terms of our game vs Manawatu and Canterburys game vs Wellington:
If we lose we're gone,
If we draw scoring five goals or less, canty have to win by a clear four goals.
If we draw scoring six goals or more, canty have to win by three keeping welly: scoreless if we score six, to one goal if we score seven, to two goals if we score eight etc.
If we win, Canty either have to draw or win against welly.
That is assuming canty beat hbu in a catch up game next week.
If canty were to lose that, then lose to welly, assuming we beat manwatu, would see them in 5th need to beat auckland in a catch up game on the last day of the season to make the playoffs and knock us out
As an aside losing could see us drop to 7th if both Manwatu (playing us and auckland) and Hawkes Bay (playing canty and auckland) both win their last two games.
