I sent all the Super teams a DM on Instagram asking when the Super squads would be named and the Highlanders replied and said all squads will be named in early December after the Mitre 10 Cup.

Another twist as the draw has now been delayed so next week now.

Mentions more announcement to come. I'm glad we're keeping SA in the RC!

Wasn't sure where else to put this.

The SRA draw will be announced tonight and some afternoon games will remain.

Thanks for that.

This graphic made me piss myself, trying to find a positive for the Chiefs season 'most bonus points' haha

[Yeetyaah]

@Machpants hahah fuck that's embarassing

[Bovidae]

What was said about any games against the Aust teams?

[Bovidae]

[Kiwiwomble]

So a “final” rather than top two playing Aus or something

[Bovidae]

The graphic shows that all Sunday games are at 3:35 pm. No Sat game on Anzac weekend (Round 9).

Still talking to Oz about post SRA games

[Bovidae]

@Machpants Yes, I was just reading another article.

NZR General Manager Professional Rugby & Performance Chris Lendrum also confirmed NZR is working closely with Rugby Australia on a trans- Ta$man cross over series and would announce details shortly.

NZR Head of High Performance Mike Anthony confirmed the All Blacks would be available from Round 1.

[KiwiMurph]

@Bovidae nice!

[Machpants]

SRAu has the same finals date was SRA, 8 may, so the stars are aligned for some cross over matches

[Derpus]

6 weeks of spare time after the two comps. Enough time for a game against each foreign team for each club plus a 'final' for the best of each country?

[Kiwiwomble]

@Derpus i dont like the idea of finals and then cross overs, i think we either have a Minor Premier as it were and then "Finals" that cross over
