Schedule For Super Rugby Pacific Announced
After Super Rugby was postponed earlier this year it hadn’t been clear when rugby would return around the world.
The coronavirus has taken a sledgehammer to most sport however there is now a reason to be cheerful as there will be a domestic Super Rugby competition taking place in New Zealand, which will start in June.
The news follows the NZ Government’s announcement on Thursday that professional rugby and netball could resume at alert level two.
The domestic competition will see each of the five NZ Super Rugby teams play each other in home and away fixtures over ten weeks.
Matches will be played in closed stadiums until the government advises on the best approach to manage mass gatherings.
NZR chief executive Mark Robinson said: “The thought of five world-class Kiwi teams battling it out in 20 matches over ten weeks should put a smile back on the faces of many people. I know our players are excited and I’m sure rugby fans will be as well.
“Medical and operational staff across NZR, the Players’ Association and the clubs have been working together to ensure we have detailed plans in place to protect the health and safety of everyone involved.”
To go along with this, the Mitre 10 Cup will begin in September this year too.
