[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1011571, member: 65365"] One sided fixtures? We already have the division one playing 40% of their games against division two teams. and I don’t see how making entry free makes it a less valuable competition, it does the exact opposite because it generates interest. after the springboks opted out of the rugby championship something had to give, it was either going to be women’s rugby or mitre10. They look to have found a solution with minimal impact so if it works I’m all for it. It’s an obvious shame because it’s a great comp and the structure is frankly better than anything I’ve seen in terms of maximising the amount of viable teams, keeping them viable and competitive, without playing too many games. It’s the only promotion relegation system I’ve seen that manages to keep a relatively even distribution of talent. I heard they were thinking of still having two seven team competitions, so not quite north and south, more like south plus Wellington, manawatu, Hawkes bay. Doesn’t make much sense for that pool, though I can see the north north pool will have less travel expenses. [/QUOTE]
