The 2011 ITM Cup is the 35th provincial rugby union competition in New Zealand, the sixth since the competition reconstruction in 2006 and the second under the new sponsor of ITM (Independent Timber Merchants).
The new competition format from 2011 will see 14 teams split into two divisions of seven teams based on their on-field finishing positions in 2010. The top seven teams will form the Premiership and the bottom seven the Championship. Teams will play all other teams in their division plus four teams from the other division (there will be an innovative new process for teams to select their cross-division opponents with the detail to be finalised in the first quarter of 2011). All matches will carry full competition points. Due to the ITM Cup season running up against the 2011 Rugby World Cup, to be held in September and October in New Zealand, the competition window will be truncated. Three midweek matches will be held during the regular season, and there will be no semi-finals; the top two teams in both the Championship and Premiership will advance directly to their respective finals. Semi-finals will return to both competitions in 2012.[1]
The winner of the Championship will receive automatic promotion to the Premiership replacing the 7th placed team in the Premiership which will be relegated to the Championship.
Match Preview
Hawke's Bay v Wellington
Wellington will be out to put their 32-0 drubbing to Bay of Plenty behind them when they make the trip to Napier's McLean Park for Friday's crossover match against Hawke's Bay.
The Lions play their second Hurricanes franchise partner team of the season (the other was Taranaki - which Wellington won 23-5), with both teams looking to bounce back from humiliating defeats.
As well as Wellington getting blown away by the Steamers, the Magpies were upstaged at home by previously winless Tasman 21-19 on Tuesday.
This leaves the Lions four points adrift of second-placed Taranaki on the Premiership ladder and Hawke's Bay two points behind new Championship leader Manawatu after four completed rounds of the 2011 competition.
