Highlanders are represented by the regional alliances from Southland, Otago, and North Otago. Southland has 28 amateur squads, five of which have two squads. Thirty-three amateur clubs are divided into four divisions of 6-8 teams based on their level. Otago allows for the division into the Metro and County leagues. There are 16 representatives in the Metro. Five of them have three squads, another five have two squads. There are 16 teams in the County, divided into two divisions according to the geographical principle.<\/p>\n
2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Crusaders<\/h3>\n
The regional alliances that make up the Crusaders include Canterbury, Tasman, Buller, South Canterbury, Mid Canterbury, and West Coast teams. The Tasman union appeared as a result of a merge of two small unions – Nelson Bay and Marlborough. Twenty-eight teams are divided into the Premier Division (11 best in the region), and the second division. The Canterbury region is represented by three unions: Canterbury, South Canterbury, and Mid Canterbury. The West Coast Teams represent the sum of the Buller and West Coast clubs.<\/p>\n
3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hurricanes<\/h3>\n
Hurricanes are formed by three large regional alliances – Wellington, Manawatu, Hawke\u2019s Bay, and five small ones: East Coast, Horowhenua-Kapiti, Poverty Bay, Wairarapa-Bush, Wanganui. Wellington represents the city of the same name and the surrounding areas in which 17 clubs are based, many of which have 2-3 lineups. The Manawatu Union brings together clubs from Palmerston and the two nearby neighborhoods where 15 multi-roster clubs are based.<\/p>\n
4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chiefs<\/h3>\n
In the central part of the Northern Island, several alliances form the Chiefs: Waikato, Counties Manukau, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, as well as two small alliances, namely, King Country and Thames Valley. Waikato, one of the most numerous regions, has 77 teams (28 clubs), divided into nine tournaments. Home of the Barrett brothers, Taranaki has 15 clubs (33 teams) divided into four divisions. The Bay of Plenty union represents the region of the same name: there are 32 clubs in total.<\/p>\n
5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Blues<\/h3>\n
New Zealand\u2019s northernmost franchise, The Blues is formed by three large alliances – Auckland, North Harbor, and Northland. Auckland represents the historic downtown, which is home to 20 clubs (57 teams) that create major tournaments. North Harbor brings together 12 clubs in the northern suburbs of Auckland, which split from the Auckland union in 1985. Northland represents the northernmost (tropical) part of the country. Due to its size, the union is divided into six territorial sub-unions uniting 38 representatives.<\/p>\n
As we can see, the density of amateur teams in New Zealand is even across the country and varies on average from 3 to 5 thousand people per one amateur club. In this way, we can evaluate the grassroots structure behind each Super Rugby team. The smallest number of population, and therefore amateur squads in the structure of the Highlanders.<\/p>\n
