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

One round robin comp with an extra 3 games playing someone twice.
QF'S ,SFS AND A FINAL. -
@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! -
The competition will feature “Super Round Melbourne,’’ the brain child of both NZ Rugby and Rugby Australia, which is designed to showcase the competition before the start of the NRL and AFL. Backed by TEG Live, Asia Pacific’s leading live entertainment company and the Victorian Government, it will see games played at AAMI Park for three straight days of double-headers between February 25-27, and “home’’ teams will be reimbursed.Another fucking stupid idea IMO.

It's played in a league heartland.
I'm fairly certain no front rower wants to be the last game on AAMI park that weekend either.

Already had chat with a few people from my club about making a day or two of the super round, looks good

No firm player management plans have been put in pace, in part due to the delayed NPC season, but Foster told Stuff that consultation – rather than a ‘top-down’ mandate from NZ Rugby – is the way forward.
“The whole concept really is to work with the franchise and to allow them to develop a plan that we look at.”
“The idea is that we really want to trust the franchise that they look after parts of that [plan] and are open to some guidelines, and can have a conversation so we get aligned,” he said.
The addition of two new teams, Moana Pasifika and the Fijian Drua, and five games against Australian opponents of varying quality means that all the Kiwi sides should be able to look at their draw and plan to be without the All Blacks for certain fixtures.
The Crusaders, Blues and Chiefs, in particular, are stacked with a large contingent of key All Blacks, and will have to use their squad depth – especially with only bye week during the 14-round regular season.Foster also indicated that the three-test home series against Ireland in 2022 – now hotly anticipated after the All Blacks’ loss in Dublin at the weekend – would start two weeks after the Super Rugby Pacific final (on June 18), while the All Blacks could start their Rugby Championship campaign next year with two tests against the Springboks.
“Next year if we return to a normal international program, then we’re having three tests against Ireland 14 days after a Super Rugby final, and then two weeks after that there’s a couple of tests against South Africa, or something like that,” Foster said.
Unfortunately, this article doesn't answer the question of how many games All Blacks are supposed to be rested during SRP. -
@yeetyaah yay…another blue jersey…alternate jerseys are the real test now days
7 of the 12 (and maybe MP too) of the SRP teams have primarily blue jerseys
