Tries are set to have greater value in the Mitre 10 Cup after a scoring change was revealed this morning.
New Zealand Rugby's Neil Sorensen has confirmed to TAB Sport Radio that tries will now be worth six points in the national provincial championship, with penalties worth just two.
Formerly known as the ITM Cup, the Mitre 10 Cup has been chosen to host the initiative which will place an emphasis on try-scoring and attacking rugby, and decrease the amount of penalties being kicked.
Additionally, according to a report by World Rugby, NZ Rugby are also looking at experimenting with two referees next year in the competition.
