Forget Married At First Sight. Don't pay any attention to My Kitchen Rules. Don't even start going through your Netflix queue. The Mitre 10 Cup is where the best drama is with Northland the unlikely protagonist.
The final weekend of New Zealand's provincial rugby regular season provided all the entertainment you could hope for - shock upsets, a cliffhanger, a historical superpower crumbling and the good guys coming through courtesy of some help from an unlikely ally.
It started with a Ranfurly Shield challenge where Taranaki made Manawatu's path to the finals tough with a strong victory to retain the coveted prize until next season.
Then it was Northland's turn to try cement a semifinal spot, but it wasn't to be. Not yet at least.
The 36-18 defeat to Championship leaders Wellington set up an intriguing finale. They needed one of Bay of Plenty, Otago and Manawatu to be vanquished in the Mitre 10 Cup pressure cooker.
