Rugby Trans-Tasman competition, full draw, fixtures

Rugby Australia and New Zealand Rugby have confirmed a trans Tasman tournament that will take place after domestic Super Rugby tournaments next year.

The competition will include a special ‘Super Round’ which sees all five Australia and five New Zealand sides come together to play in the one location.

The tournament will begin on Friday, May 14 and wraps up on June 19, with the games from each round to be played on Fridays and Saturdays.

The final will be played between the top two placed teams on the combined competition table.

The side that finishes first outright will gain hosting rights for the decider.

“This is a truly historic day for Rugby in the southern hemisphere, with the first-ever Australian and New Zealand Super Rugby competition,” Rugby Australia interim Chief Executive Rob Clarke said.

“This will generate enormous excitement across both countries with some of the best players in the world set to challenge each other after the conclusion of Super Rugby AU and Super Rugby Aotearoa.

 

“The Super Round is also great initiative with one lucky city to host all 10 teams on one weekend in a Super Rugby extravaganza.

New Zealand Rugby Chief Executive Mark Robinson said: “Super Rugby Trans-Tasman is a great result for fans on both sides of the Tasman and is testament to the strength of the relationship between New Zealand Rugby and Rugby Australia.

“It’s been a testing time for rugby in both countries, but also a chance to reimagine the game in our part of the world for 2021. The result is an exciting and innovative new competition, which will benefit fans, players, broadcasters and Super clubs.

“We all know how special the rivalry between New Zealand and Australia is when it comes to sport and this tournament will add another exciting chapter. The banter between Rob Clarke and I has already begun and I’m sure fans will feel the same.”
