A clash between the two teams sitting at the top of the points table would normally be headline news in any sporting competition but not so in Wairarapa-Bush rugby tomorrow.
Sure, Eketahuna and Greytown will have bragging rights to play for in their Tui Cup premier division match at Greytown but with both sides already having done enough to made it through to the semifinals - and with likely home advantage to boot - it's debatable as to how much should be read into the end result.
Having said that, however, Greytown, the defending champions, have had a couple of stumbles against Carterton and Martinborough during the past few weeks so motivation for victory might be greater for them, if only to get back into the winning habit.
Pioneer seem to have a semifinal berth at their mercy and there was a lot to admire about their gutsy win over a spirited Marist last weekend. They can expect another tough battle with Carterton at Carterton tomorrow.
The latter might be at the bottom of the points table but have shown real signs of improvement and the possibility of an upset can't be discounted.
