[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 586662, member: 20605"] That is the reality in this country. The NZRU "props up" the ITM Cup here because it OWNS and operates that competition, and it sees this as vital to the future of the game. The ITM Cup is effectively the showcase for the best of our club rugby[COLOR=#ff0000]*[/COLOR] players looking to advance their careers to Super Rugby, and it pits them up against those Super Rugby players who haven't made it to the All Blacks yet. [COLOR=#ff0000]*[/COLOR] welshglory Club rugby here means something different than it perhaps does in Wales. If our Super Rugby equates roughly to your Pro12, then the ITM Cup equates to your Welsh Premiership, and our Club Rugby to whatever level you have below that. [/QUOTE]
