Watch live Scrum here from Rotorua - Watch Waikato v Bay of Plenty Kick Off - ITM Cup Rugby New Zealand - rugby.trueonlinetv.com
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
VENUE & TIME: Rotorua International Stadium, Tuesday July 26 @ 1935.
HEAD TO HEAD: Played 76; Bay of Plenty 24 wins, Waikato 48, drawn 4.
LAST TIME: July 31, 2010 (Hamilton) – Waikato 13-10 Bay of Plenty.
WE THINK: Bay of Plenty may not have played any of the Premiership teams yet but it has looked good despatching two of the Championship sides, and the Steamers have a solid, experienced lineup across the park. Waikato may not have its combinations working after making so many changes, and the Bay should be looking for four points from a tough, close contest. One score may well be all that separates the teams at the end.
TEAMS:
Bay of Plenty: 1. Tristan Moran, 2. Daniel Perrin, 3. Josh Hohneck, 4. Leon Power, 5. Culum Retallick, 6. Luke Andrews, 7. Tanerau Latimer, 8. Colin Bourke (capt), 9. Jamie Nutbrown, 10. Daniel Waenga, 11. Ben W Smith, 12. Steve Kefu, 13. Phil Burleigh, 14. Lelia Masaga, 15. Toby Arnold.
Waikato: 1. Ben May, 2. Aled de Malmanche, 3. Nathan White (capt), 4. Toby Lynn, 5. Chris Middleton, 6. Jack Lam, 7. Zack Hohneck, 8. Alex Bradley, 9. Brendon Leonard, 10. Trent Renata, 11. Henry Speight, 12. Rena Schuster, 13. Jackson Willison, 14. Frank Halai, 15. Tim Mikkelson
