Confused by the Mitre 10 Cup standings? Yeah, no kidding... Here's the official competition's explanation from it's website.

To help fix the confusion, we're going to create our own Power Rankings so you can easily know which provincial rugby team is the best in the country each week. 

This week the scale ranks the teams by:

Number Of Tries Scored (divided by) KFCs in team home town (times by) Pizza Huts in team home town

#1 Taranaki - 20
#2 Canterbury - 14.1
#3 Hawke's Bay - 8
#4 Otago - 6.7
#5 Bay Of Plenty - 6
#6 Northland - 464
#7 Auckland - 5.8
#8 Manawatu - 4
#9 Wellington - 4
#10 Counties-Manakau - 3.5
#11 Waikato - 3
#12 North Harbour - 3
#13 Tasman - 3
#14 Southland - 1.7

Big movers this week is Canterbury who rise from bottom after Round 1 to 2nd, following a strong offensive and the regions love of Restaurant Brands chains.

However, its bad news for Southland fans as the Stags fall to the bottom of the table much like their location in New Zealand.
