Purely on 2009 results the division split would be: [u]Premiership[/u] Canterbury Wellington Hawkes Bay Southland Auckland Waikato Bay of Plenty [u]Championship[/u] Taranaki Tasman Otago Manawatu North Harbour Northland Counties-Manakau Anyone honestly believe we will end up with Otago and Harbour in the "second division"? I think the inter-divisional games are just going to confuse the hell out of people and turn them off the format, welcome back to ANZC year one.
