Interesting that they might move it to Auckland given that Auckland already hosts the nines tournament which does pretty well there. Would Super Rugby really want to go head to head with NRL, and can the city of Auckland support two weekend long preseason tournaments on consecutive weekends? I would say no, and I'd give the edge to the more established nines.

The rumour is there will be a trade. Brisbane, a League city, gets the Nines while Auckland, a Union city, gets the Tens.
