Does anyone know when the new schedule is meant to be released for the 2025 Super season?
Last year's schedule came out in the early stages of August 2023 so surely it shouldn't be too far away.
I wonder if it's taking longer because Melbourne is unlikely to be the venue for the 'Super Round' and they are probably looking at hosting it elsewhere.
Anyone heard about a potential new venue? How good would Dunners be under the roof?
I heard the Gold Coast was being looked at for Super Round.
Interesting indeed but I definitely get the appeal. The players will have a blast there so hopefully their performance holds up.
thought Perth would've made the most sense, better rugby community compared to east coast and large amount of Saffas.

ive said from the start queensland (maybe a bit later in the season to allow for cooler temp) could work, try and get more of an old school sevens vibe, spending the whole weekend there, i hope they put some thought in and have reds v warratahs as a game....get some grudge match feels going on and hopefully crowd will follow

As if it were possible to have a dafter idea than holding it in Melbourne. The GC is where sport goes to die. It should be in Sydney or Brisbane.

Interesting to see what impact this new organisation has on SR. -

It should be in Hong Kong, Singapore, or Tokyo (or maybe all three).

Yeah I definitely know he had discussions with them but maybe they couldn't agree on terms.

Hopefully it’s a 6 team playoff going forward, especially with 11 teams.

@BorderJB said in Super Rugby 2025:
Hopefully the commission has looked at the schedule for NZ, we really cannibalize the fan base with Saturday games when there all at club rugby, hoping a couple games are on Sunday arvo.
Hopefully they do something a little drastic and play a game on a Thursday or a Monday. Take a leaf out of the NFL.

McReight, Paisami return for Bledisloe series as Schmidt sticks solid with Wallabies
Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt has resisted the option of making major squad changes after the record defeat in Santa Fe.
The first weekend will see three qualifying finals - 1 v 6, 2 v 5 and 3 v 4 - but with only three winners, a fourth team to fill out the semi-finals has to be found. That spot will be claimed by a “lucky loser” - the highest-seeded team to lose in the qualifying finals.
This is fucking trash. Make it simple and give 1 and 2 a week off then 3 and 4 to host a QF.

Fuck me, what a way to blur the lines. I agree, keep it simple, fans hate it when they can't understand a playoff structure. Absolute nonsense once again from these idiots.
