The competition, which is the largest and one of the most geographically spread 1st XV competitions in the country, including teams from South and Mid Canterbury, Canterbury, and Ta$man is set to split into two competitions in a bid to address concerns around player wellbeing, reducing the season length to implement the ‘Balance in Better’ philosophy in youth sport.

Reducing the number of round robin games played from 13 to 9, the new Premiership and Championship format will better align with summer sports, reduce player load, and improve the long-term financial sustainability of the competitions.

It also means being in a better position to welcome new schools to the competition.

Reducing the size of the competition will allow time for traditional school games with teams from outside the competition, as well as between schools who are not in the same division. While the Premiership will offer opportunities for traditional inter school fixtures inside and outside the competition, the Championship has opened the door for new opportunities to be created as well as continuing traditional rivalries.

The Premiership will move to a 10-team competition while the Championship will initially feature a handful of 2nd XV sides.

Movement between the two competitions is still being worked through with the schools, with a focus on achieving a fair and equitable outcome but there will be promotion and relegation.

[Bovidae]

Mid Canterbury Combined schools withdrew at the start of the season due to a lack of capable players, so it's already hard for the smaller schools.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae That seems to be what they're acknowledging by making these changes.

Remove some of the barriers (particularly number of games and travel) and maybe more kids might be inclined to either stay in the sport or to give rugby a go (if they haven't played before), especially if they can play in a lower division.

Privacy laws apply to private information. Being on a register is not private information.

The following are all groups of people I can publicly search to see if they are registered: nurses, teachers, voters, company directors.

If I can look up something as private as whether a person is bankrupt, why can I not search to see which school a player is registered at?

[taniwharugby]

@Chester-Draws I expect privacy laws for students are different given majority of students are <16.

Good luck finding that in any legislation.

OK, so the registrations aren't searchable. But I do get wound up by people assuming things are private just because omigod "privacy".

[Can I Play too]

@Chester-Draws I think you need to relook at the privacy laws.

[Can I Play too]

@Chester-Draws It is private information. There isn't a database for the public to look up who is enrolled at a school. So why would there be one to look up what school / club a person plays rugby at.

Because next weekend is the Queen's Birthday weekend, there are quite a few midweek games, this week. I'll post the list later today.

They haven't changed since I used to use them regularly. Not everything about a person is private despite what know-it-alls think..

Before every game you are be required to present your team sheet with details, if requested. Why does that not breach privacy laws then?

This arose because I was obliged to provide my school's registration numbers. Obviously too private for you -- but I was still made to provide it. Yet I cannot look at the opposition student's registrations. Which is quite annoying.

[Stargazer]

Geez, can you guys start a privacy laws thread somewhere in "Off Topic", please?

Or just look at the schools' facebook/instagram pages. They usually post their 1st XV squads at the beginning of the season. And many of them also their match day line-ups.

[Left Right Out 0]

@Stargazer St Peters making a mockery of Kings, who arguably have the best player in the country. Is this a sign of things to come for both teams?

[Stargazer]

As I said in my previous post, there are quite a few mid-week games, this week, due to the Queen's Birthday weekend. These are the games that I've found; there may be more.

@Stargazer not alot to get excited about. Maybe the Marlborough V Nelson or St Pats V NP Boys. I expect Nelson to get up comfortably but might take awhile to break down Marlborough. Stream could continue to cement their place as Wellingtons only hope. NP Boys will come out firing after losing in 2021

[Stargazer]

@Left-Right-Out-0 I would have liked to see Hamilton Boys take on AGS, because I haven't seen anything of Hamilton Boys' yet, this year.

I think St Pat's Silverstream v NP will be interesting and I will watch Lindisfarne v Hastings Boys because they're Hawke's Bay schools and I'm trying to look at the bigger picture, but the outcome is very predictable.

@Stargazer give Lindisfarne my best wishes but theyre in for a long day. Silverstream had last weekend off so should be fresh and seemingly healthy.
