Also significant is that only one NZ franchise, the Hurricanes, get 3 home games in SR T-T. All other NZ franchises have only 2 home games.

Incorrect, the ex super round home games have not been allocated yet

@machpants the Hurricanes game has been, they are playing the Force in Napier.

The first three games for the Canes - Tahs (away) Rebels (home) and Force (home) gives them a great platform to do well in this competition.

So we have a Final, no cross over games are we relying on bonus points to find the 2 Finalists or points differential,.
It would be interesting if all 5 NZ teams going through unbeaten.They won't be able to go on who beat who if the NZ teams are unbeaten.

@chris I’m sure the tie breaker will be points differential so I’d imagine every NZ team will be going all guns blazing to score as many tries as possible.

That could make it a very entertaining comp.

Highlanders v Rebels venue still TBC, but it's a home game.
Blues not going to the regions for their game against the Brumbies.
As already announced, Canes playing the Force in Napier.
Crusaders playing the Tahs in Wollongong.
Chiefs playing the Reds in Townsville.

The Chiefs draw is a bit shit. Go to Perth, back to the Tron, Over to Townsville, back to the Tron, over to Sydney.
The only team that goes back and forth every week (and only get 2 home games)

EDIT: Only kiwi team. The Tahds cop the same. Home, Auckland, Home, Dunedin, Home. At least they get 3 home games as compo.

Qld must have offered a good deal to play the game in Townsville as the Chiefs are the only NZ team that was affected by covid crowd restrictions for a home game this season.

@stargazer I've been so oblivious to this it completely slipped my mind that I'd be able to go to games.

The Chiefs at Brookvale :thumbs_up_medium-dark_skin_tone:

The Canes at the SCG :thumbs_up_medium-dark_skin_tone: (I might take a banner to abuse the Canes as an organisation even though I'll be cheering for them.)

The Canes at Canberra :thumbs_up_medium-dark_skin_tone: (I can make another banner).

The Chiefs at Townsville. I might even make this trip even though Townsville has been one of the few places in Oz I've visited that I didn't really care for.
