No hard feelings from the Manawatu Rugby Union towards possible plans for a reduced broadcasting schedule for the provincial game in the future

Manawatu boss Tim Myers welcomes the move as it will loosen restrictions on where the union can field games, leading to more contests in intimate settings.
