[QUOTE="ChiefsFan, post: 249032"] When they did have their nat comp, for that one year, each team had an area and a nickname, i.e. the Ballymore Tornadoes (I think). The reason the NZ teams dropped the province from their name is, as Flux has said due to the fact that each team didn't represent one province. Waikato Chiefs became the Chiefs first because they had Harbour in the franchise, which, for those that don't know, is nowhere near the Waikato. [/QUOTE]
