Attention Rugby fans!

With today's announcement that New Zealand will be moving down to Alert Level 2, New Zealand Rugby has confirmed that our 5 domestic franchises will be playing out a 20 game season entirely within our borders starting in June, to be called Super Rugby Aotearoa.

Personally I'm thrilled by this news, I know I'm not the only person in the country/world itching to watch some live sport. And with how wacky Super Rugby has become in recent years with the crazy travel, weird conference and seeding rules, games on at odd hours of the night, a back to basics competition between NZ's top players should make for some good quality games. Games will be played at empty stadiums, but hopefully we continue to progress to the point where spectators are allowed a couple of months down the line.
