[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 335246, member: 24910"] Its a Challenge system -any home games the holder has in the NPC games count as Ranfurly shield challenges (apart from semis and finals). The holding union must defend the Shield in challenge matches, and if a challenger defeats them, they become the new holder of the Shield. More information: [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranfurly_Shield"](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranfurly_Shield[/URL]) At times one team (usually Canterbury or Auckland) have held the Shield for years, but recently its been shared around a bit. Many people consider the winning the Ranfurly Shield more prestigious than winning the NPC (or ITM Cup or whatever its called now). [/QUOTE]
