Interesting Comment from Signatore #2601

2601 - Grit Fleischhauer - Southland

"I am German and I can only watch rugby on the internet. I have very much enjoyed this season and if any team will be dropped I doubt I can enjoy their games in the future (no tv coverage = no internet coverage) - which would be a real shame."

Save the Turbos

Our Mission

The NZRU Constitution clearly states, under Objects And Powers, that the union is to "promote, foster and develop rugby throughout New Zealand".

So help us to preserve the Air New Zealand / Heartland Championship in its current format and to convince the NZRU that the smaller unions should not be axed...

The 2006 reorganization of New Zealand provincial rugby replaced the NPC's former three-division setup with two distinct competitions. This differs from the original two-division setup used in the NPC from its creation in 1976 to 1984 in two key ways. First, the two current competitions are nationwide, while the original NPC Division Two was split on a North Island/South Island basis. Second, the NZRU ruled that there would initially be no promotion or relegation between the Air New Zealand Cup and Heartland Championships a feature that had always been present in the former NPC. Also, the number of teams was reduced to 26, as the Marlborough and Nelson Bays unions merged to form the new Tasman union. So now the NZRU are proposing a Change to the format of the Air NZ Cup / Heartland Championships. We are Asking for them to reconsider as this will harm the smaller unions who have made great advances since 2006
