Pretty sure I have this right.. No NZ side has won a game in Aus so far this year

Blues 0/1
Chiefs 1 draw
Hurricanes 1 draw
Highlanders 0/3

---

Remaining chances:

Canes tonight in Canberra and next month in Brisbane
Crusaders have games in Sydney and Canberra next month

At best NZ v Aus in Aus could end up even

Chiefs lost to the Waratahs, not a draw.

@Bovidae

Yeah first loss against an Aussie side in Aus since 2019. 11 in a row before that

A quick check of the 2020's for all the NZ sides

Blues 11/12
Chiefs 10/13
Canes 5/12 (1 draw)
Crusaders 8/12
Highlanders 5/15

Surprised the Canes have been so mixed

@Mr-Fish

Five of the best performers of the week from Super Rugby Pacific

The Hurricanes managed to beat the number one side on the ladder, the Chiefs, while the Blues win over the Force kept their playoff hopes alive.

@Tim

The Blues 40-19 victory over the Force flatted the hosts.

Oh man

Not very flatting for them if so.

I thought this was the new and hip version of 'When's the team named?'

Super Round all but locked in for 2026, Christchurch is the venue to open the new stadium.
Just waiting on confirmation of some government backing to confirm.

@Chris epic, heard Beaver talk about that on his podcast with Kirsty Stanaway. Wonder if he got the good oil or it was all speculation. Might have to make the trip.

Not sure I heard through someone involved on the SR commission.

i guess makes some sense, my preference will always be fore QLD and culminating with a red v tahs, warmer, still a good rugby scene, attractive place to visit for a weekend etc

They are looking at Fiji for 2027.

@Chris another good suggestion, i feel what they keep missing is the chance to make some rivalries, we dont have multiple team from one city so we need to make something new

I not a fan of super weekend, but can see why it's popular for some, and a big plus a kiwi city hosting it.
