This is quite interesting - the Brumbies and Hurricanes have introduced a new trophy between the two sides to be played annually over ANZAC weekend. Named the Captain Shout Cup (named after Alfred Shout) this will go on the line for the first time when the two teams clash on Saturday night in Canberra. I hope this means we can finally host the Brumbies in NZ after playing what feels like our last 5 or so games in Canberra.

No points for us this weekend then

It's a graveyard for us so highly doubt it.

Are we going to actually see the NZ heritage jerseys used this year? Chiefs didn't wear theirs at all in 2024.

@Mr-Fish from what I've heard they aren't.

Much rather trundle out some Marvel colab bollocks

Pretty sure I have this right.. No NZ side has won a game in Aus so far this year

Blues 0/1
Chiefs 1 draw Chiefs 0/1
Hurricanes 1 draw
Highlanders 0/3

---

Remaining chances:

Canes tonight in Canberra and next month in Brisbane
Crusaders have games in Sydney and Canberra next month

And the Blues finally lost in Aust (as Horan said).

At best NZ v Aus in Aus could end up even

Chiefs lost to the Waratahs, not a draw.

@Bovidae

Yeah first loss against an Aussie side in Aus since 2019. 11 in a row before that

A quick check of the 2020's for all the NZ sides

Blues 11/12
Chiefs 10/13
Canes 5/12 (1 draw)
Crusaders 8/12
Highlanders 5/15

Surprised the Canes have been so mixed

@Mr-Fish

Five of the best performers of the week from Super Rugby Pacific

The Hurricanes managed to beat the number one side on the ladder, the Chiefs, while the Blues win over the Force kept their playoff hopes alive.

@Tim

The Blues 40-19 victory over the Force flatted the hosts.

Oh man

Not very flatting for them if so.

I thought this was the new and hip version of 'When's the team named?'

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.
