How many are New Zealanders / locals?
Pretty similar ratio to most other teams in the Premiership, to be fair
Southern were behind only Auckland and Canterbury last year in minutes given to imports, and well ahead of TW, WU, HW. Given that I reckon we'll see ACFC using more Kiwis in prep for OCL, I'd bet on CU and SU topping the charts this season.
