It's not getting much traction with the public, the NZRU aren't overly keen, and now it appears some players are hesitant of taking part the upcoming North-South game in Dunedin.
The teams for the match are yet to be named, but selection will be based on Super Rugby franchise, rather than home province.
That means a player like Southland's Robbie Robinson will turn out for the North, which he says doesn't seem right.
"It will be pretty weird but I haven't thought about it as much as others because I've been injured over the last, almost two months now, so it hasn't really crossed my mind."
Robinson's also hesitant because of a lingering calf injury.
