The Nationals: Every Wildcard scenario

Champion Victorian duo Orson Allen and Tornado Tears are in the box seat to qualify for the National Sprint and Distance Grand Finals in Perth on 24 August.

All state finals will be conducted this Thursday, with comprehensive coverage to take place on Sky 2 between 8pm and 10pm.
