Super Rugby Pacific 2022 Schedule , Game time and how to watch

The first nine rounds of the inaugural Super Rugby Pacific season will feature Australian and New Zealand derbies after competition organisers unveiled a revamped schedule for 2022 today.

New Zealand’s response to the Omicron outbreak in Australia meant the borders wouldn’t allow the initial draw to be fulfilled.

Instead, the first crossover games are now slated for week 10 when all 12 clubs will converge on Melbourne for a ‘Super Round.’

The draw for the brand new 2022 Super Rugby Pacific competition has been revised as the ongoing COVID-19 situation plays havoc with Australian and New Zealand borders. Here are the full fixtures.

Super Rugby Pacific 2022

Super Rugby Pacific replaces the Trans-Tasman, Super Rugby Australia and Super Rugby Aotearoa competitions which were brought in during COVID-affected seasons.

The new competition returns to the 12-team tournament with Moana Pasifika and Fijian Drua added in place of South Africa and Argentina teams. The teams will play 14 regular season matches made up of 11 round robin matches and three derby/rivalry matches.

All Super Rugby Australia via Stan Sport, while one Saturday night game a week will be broadcast on free to air on Channel 9.

Canada will host the World Juniors 2021

For the 14th time, Canada will host the  World Juniors live stream  . The next edition which is the 45th edition is to hold on December 26th, 2020 after it was shifted from the original date because of the COVID 19 pandemic. The gold medal game which will be the climax of this edition is to hold on January 5, 2021. IIHF announced that the  2021 world juniors  which were shifted because of the pandemic will still take place on the Edmonton bubble but it is going to be on a different day. The format for that will remain but there could be more restrictions because of the pandemic. This edition is going to take place without fans. It was originally meant for Edmonton and Red Deer hosting; this will no longer hold that way. Only Edmonton will host it while the edition of 2022 will be cohosted by Edmonton and Red Deer. It will hold under the bubble scenario of Edmonton. The decision to go on with the competition without fans is for the good of the players, this is to prevent them from conta

SA-born prop caught up in eligibility ‘breach’ probe

Image
World Rugby has opened a probe into a “potential breach” by Spain of eligibility rules during their successful qualification for next year’s World Cup, with the player being investigated originally from South Africa. According to Spanish media, the player under investigation is South African-born prop Gavin van den Berg, who has been playing in Spain since 2018. He played twice against the Netherlands (2020, 2021) in qualifiers, but he may not seemingly have served the three years of residency needed to become eligible under World Rugby rules. Spain beat Portugal 33-28 in Madrid earlier this month to become the 16th team to qualify for the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France. The victory meant they were assured of second place in the group. Georgia, who had already booked their place in France, top the pool. That place, however, could be under threat for Spain as World Rugby said it would “convene an independent judicial committee to examine a potential breach … by the Spanish Rugby Un

Waisake Naholo will attempt to earn a contract with the Crusaders

Image
Former All Blacks wing Waisake Naholo will attempt to earn a contract with the Crusaders after joining the team’s pre-season training for Super Rugby Pacific. Naholo has reportedly been brought into the Crusaders’ pre-season for the 2022 season, joining his younger brother and fellow wing Kini at the club. The 30-year-old returned to New Zealand last year after an injury-plagued stint with London Irish in the English Premiership. Naholo tried to earn a Super Rugby contract by turning out for Canterbury during last year’s NPC campaign, but there were no takers. However, the Crusaders have decided to give Naholo an opportunity as the club is not expecting their All Blacks to return until February. Naholo played 62 games for the Highlanders between 2015 and 2019,  helping the club win their first Super Rugby title in 2015, when he finished as the season’s top try-scorer with 13 tries. He made his Test debut for the All Blacks in 2015 and earned 27 Test caps, scoring 16 tries and p
