@stargazer your less than eager reaction wouldnt happen to be associated with the suggestion the Crusaders are rumoured to be involved would it?
-
I don't see the relevance of whichever NZ team is involved. A home game should be played at a home stadium (a stadium in the catchment of the franchise). Due to their location and the involvement of PI players in the SR competition, I can live with taking a game to Fiji, Samoa or Tonga now and then, but to another hemisphere/continent just for the dollars. Ugghh.

False alarm ... sort of
LA TO HOST PRE-SEASON SUPER RUGBY
Its only a pre-season match but Super Rugby will debut in America when the Bulls play the Stormers in Los Angeles in February as a curtain raiser to a USA Eagles ARC match. Coming into the Americas Rugby Championship (ARC) for the first time as defending champions, the United States Men's 15s look to kick off the 2018 competition in leading fashion as they head to an opening match with Argentina XV. The match will headline a double-header feature, following a Super Rugby pre-season showcase between the Vodacom Bulls of Pretoria and Cape Town's DHL Stormers, February 3rd at StubHub Center in Los Angeles.Western Province Rugby Group CEO, Paul Zacks added, "This is a great opportunity to share the success of the DHL Stormers team and brand with a new and growing market. The world is continuously becoming a smaller place, so exploring new and growing areas of the game forms part of our vision, as we strive to become a truly high-performance organization with global appeal." “This Super Rugby showcase, is bigger than just the game.” said Barend van Graan, CEO of the Blue Bulls Company, “It should be seen as a step forward in growing rugby even faster in the States, and globally.” -

If the description of the new jerseys are accurate then green is the new grey - highlanders, canes and chiefs all have green listed as an away colour. Crusaders have switched to white away jerseys and blues appear to be going for the same colours home and away.

That might be a goer - a pilgrimage to Pinetree country. I've never watched a game there.

is that a test to see if you're a true supporter - ordering the jersey without seeing it?

Is this the start of a revolution at the Chiefs? Are their troubles just beginning?
