[QUOTE="Black Heart, post: 423557, member: 44806"] It's important to keep in mind that the ITM Cup/ Air New Zealand Cup/ NPC is a tounament played around the Tri Nations period. This means that players like Dan Carter are often too tied up with test rugby and All Black camps to be given leave to play for their respective teams. The only time you usually see the top players playing provincial rugby is when they're comming back from injury or towards the end of the season following the Tri Nations. In other words, don't be disappointed to not see the best players in the country playing. On the plus side there are still many former All Blacks and reject All Blacks playing and it's the best way to view the up and comming talent. As someone already mentioned, the ITM Cup feeds directly into the Super 15. [/QUOTE]
