It would still be easy. Should include all provinces ever. I can think of eight that you could add to your list

Are you including existing provinces that have different names?

[dogmeat]

@booboo Including teams that now make up an existing team but used to have a separate identity but not teams like Northland, Waikato, Horowhenua etc who have changed their name but not their boundary

[dogmeat]

Also including composite teams that later reverted to their individual sides but only if they participated in NZRU comps not sides made up as one-offs to face touring sides i.e. not Counties- Thames Valley or King Country-Wanganui

[dogmeat]

@booboo but you have to be very anal and specific to get eight

[booboo]

@dogmeat i can only get 7 including 3 thst changed names (including one that did it twice) and 4 that are now part of a bigger union ...

I'm guessing the first two combined into the third one?

Fifth one: d'oh

Last one: huh? Really? When was that? Had to be pre NPC (1976?) Did they have a shield challenge or something?

Manawatu amalgamated with Horowhenua to form Manawhenua from 1925-32.

Nice to see that quiz sparked a look back at Provincial Rugby history! Have been meaning to do it for ages but couldn't get the formatting of the map right. Finally worked out how to do it so really happy with the result.

@booboo My Bad. Full name and nickname were acceptable answers but surname wasn't. Now fixed.
