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.One team won’t get to attend the Super Round which is a shame.

I fan
I fully admit, probable reason for not being a fan?
Could be an age thing, weekend away drinking etc is not as appealing as it was 10 years back. I much prefer a quiet beer, then a game, followed by bed these days.
ironically thats why i enjoyed the super round sin melbourne, more likely to catch a day/evening game, sit in the sun etc...still get home early enough

Christchurch will be a great location for a magic round. Central city stadium. Covered. Plenty of hospitality options near by. Only question is whether the city will be able to handle potentially 10k of fans coming into the city.
Will dominate the city for the weekend.

Help an old guy out here... what is super round? I am just guessing everyone playing in the same location for a round?
Is that a league thing?
....have you watched super rugby for the last 3-4 years?

Motels
peasant!
Country pubs for the win in South Island. Ranging from cheap-and-basic-as-fuck to expensive-and-'charming'-as-fuck.

The simple life of not getting lost walking around corridors. Old school keys. Being able to open windows and not having the shame of walking through a reception area.looking like death. Give me a motel any day
