If all teams play two preseason games, you'd expect a Blues v Chiefs and Chiefs v Moana Pasifika game to be added. Has anyone seen info about the Chiefs' preseason games? -

This will be at a different venue. They haven’t announced where yet. Apparently the bad weather meant the field wouldn’t be in good enough condition.

I've seen nothing. Very slack. Usually the Chiefs go to one of the smaller towns for at least one home preseason game.

@Bovidae said in Super Rugby 2023:
Some of those CCC jerseys were hideous. IIRC @Yeetyaah has the full set of Chiefs jerseys. The Chiefs heritage jersey is nice (based on the 1996 jersey).
i think there is a middle ground, either the 96 jerseys which we effectively just stripes or if you did some of the more crazy CCC ones you could take the Highlanders tartan and just do the arms, or a stripe or the panels on the side of the body, a nod rather than a remake
