"Sanzaar has now been informed that the Japanese Government has requested the cancellation of sporting events in the country for the next two weeks with specific mention of the Japanese professional sports leagues," a statement said.

Well I guess there goes the plans to catch a double header at Prince Chichibu Memorial Rugby Ground Sat week.

@antipodean I was gonna go haha after my original plan of seeing a J League game fell through but yeah, looks like there's no sport in Japan until after I leave.

UPDATE: Brumbies, Reds embrace Super Rugby relocation plans

I can only assume that Sky will still broadcast these games.

Perfect outcome

[Stargazer]

@Machpants Probably more local support, too.

Players won't be too happy losing the extra airpoints though.

Maybe they could fly via Perth

The away teams won 4 out of 6 this weekend. Those were mostly upset results too

That's good for the competition

So the Blues game has been moved earlier and the Sunwolves v Crusaders game will slot into that time slot (3:35pm K.O) followed by Reds v Bulls at 6:15pm.

[Stargazer]

@Unite Yes, Blues game has been moved to earlier time, which is actually a good thing. Might attract a bigger crowd late afternoon. Below is from the SANZAAR website:

K/o times (in NZT) on Sat 14 March:

4.25pm: Blues v Lions (Auckland)
6.35pm: Sunwolves v Crusaders (Brisbane)
9.15pm: Reds v Bulls (Brisbane)

Stormers lose Pieter-Steph for two months -

Stormers lose Pieter-Steph for two months | SuperSport

The disappointment of suffering their first loss of the Vodacom Super Rugby season at the hands of the Blues was aggravated after the game for the DHL Stormers...

[Yeetyaah]

Dunno where else to put this. Akira talks about last season and how close he was to signing with the Hurricanes.

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah he may still do that, depends if Sotutu locks down a starting role or not. I would prefer Ioane to Fifita, the guy is a twit.

[canefan]

@Yeetyaah Let me unfurl the welcome sign! 😃

[Duluth]

Contracted until 2021. The Hurricanes deal fell through around the same time as Umaga got dropped as coach...

Barrett back at work today
