[QUOTE="John101, post: 414828, member: 41579"] The ITM Cup is New Zealands main rugby competition. There are 14 teams in this years ITM cup, which are then split into two pools of 7 teams. The ITM Cup seems to be changing its format around often in the past years, this year will bring a shorter version because of the world cup. The super rugby franchises are made up of all the ITM cup players, as provinces combine to create a super rugby team, ie the Highlanders are made up mainly of Southland, Otago and North Otago players, but also have players from manawatu and Hawks Bay and other provinces, but they play for Southland, Otago and North otago supporters. The Ranferly Sheild is played for in warm up matchs and in the ITM cup, the team that holds the RS must accept a challenge when they play another team on there own home game, not including finals. These matches often bring in bigger crowds and really hype the competition up, as it is a very hard trophy to win and hold on to. [/QUOTE]
