[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 806792, member: 73648"] I didn't think about the playing in bigger stadiums preparing them for internationals. There are ways to get NZ players experience against international players within the ITM cup though, right now with Super Rugby you have about 150 NZ guys getting top league experience. No matter if the reshuffled ITM cup had 7 teams in two divisions, 10 teams in the top, or all 14 playing in the top, all you would have to do is make sure that 200+ slots are reserved for New Zealanders and allow foreigners to take up the others improving the quality of the league. Of course this would take away some of the NZ development but you could find other ways for younger NZ guys to get competitive games. [/QUOTE]
