Super Round all but locked in for 2026, Christchurch is the venue to open the new stadium.
Just waiting on confirmation of some government backing to confirm.@Chris said in Super Rugby 2025:

Just waiting on confirmation of some government backing to confirm.One team won’t get to attend the Super Round which is a shame.

I fan
I fully admit, probable reason for not being a fan?
Could be an age thing, weekend away drinking etc is not as appealing as it was 10 years back. I much prefer a quiet beer, then a game, followed by bed these days.

Christchurch will be a great location for a magic round. Central city stadium. Covered. Plenty of hospitality options near by. Only question is whether the city will be able to handle potentially 10k of fans coming into the city.
Will dominate the city for the weekend.

Yep, but I a kiwi living here, so Aus super round I wasn't getting home etc. And even here I would have to stay in Christchurch for weekend, like I say a bit younger I might be keener.

Help an old guy out here... what is super round? I am just guessing everyone playing in the same location for a round?
Is that a league thing?

Country pubs for the win in South Island. Ranging from cheap-and-basic-as-fuck to expensive-and-'charming'-as-fuck.

Beauden or Damian to captain a fantasy side this week? Gut says Beauden but heart says Dmac.

The simple life of not getting lost walking around corridors. Old school keys. Being able to open windows and not having the shame of walking through a reception area.looking like death. Give me a motel any day

So you should definitely back Beaudy!
