I wonder if they read my comment alluding to that in this thread a week ago.  I wonder if they will also admit to two Northern conference sides having a bye being an error to correct earlier mistake as well.

A few years ago NZF put out a neat graphic showing the progression.  They should dig it out again (although it has changed slightly as Tasman/Mainland now gets merged one round earlier) as that would help prevent such errors.
