Yeetyaah

Super Rugby Pacific will also embrace diversity with Women in Rugby to be celebrated in Round 3, a Culture Round in Round 6, ANZAC Day in Round 10, and a Heritage Round in Round 12.

Sooooooo more jerseys? 😬

Not a single MP or Hurricanes game in Napier. Yet. There's still hope at the end (round 15).

The Super Round is in Melbourne - nice!

Kiwiwomble

i am going to get to see the Highlanders in Melbourne for the second time in 6 years, very excited

edit: oh shit, just realised i get to see them play the blues too!

Stargazer

I wonder whether they planned the Super round in Melbourne, because they missed out on so many game due to Covid, this year?

@kiwiwomble The round 1 an 2 games should be minus touring All Blacks. Should help. I wonder if Smith will be allowed to play.

I really doubt it, they're really tight on that break. Previously we've seen players that have barely played still sitting out

Kiwiwomble

@machpants dont ask me why but i really feel it would be best for everyone if he was allowed to play...i mean, hes had this big break and we dont want him to get rusty

He'll be starting the last game, and not getting much sleep with the baby, needs more time off 🤪

@chris Is there still going to be a seperate Aoetearoa and Super Rugby Australia comp or is it going to be all in one. I like the idea of the seperate conferences .

One round robin comp with an extra 3 games playing someone twice.

@tim "NZ Rugby wants all current All Blacks on the grass when Super Rugby Pacific is launched on February 18-20"
Instantly makes my last post in the Blues thread obsolete!

Chris

That’s awesome news with the rumour around the AB’s would miss rounds the NZR has come out and put to bed that rumour early.
Happy with that I was worried SR would be diluted badly in 2022.
