Super Rugby 2018 schedule
Welcome to the Southern Hemisphere's greatest Rugby Union competition! Super Rugby tickets are always in high demand and with the recent inclusion of Japan the competition has increased the sport's popularity, broadcasting capabilities and expanded the sport's reach. With that in mind, make sure you buy your Super Rugby tickets quickly. The 2017 Super Rugby champions were the seemingly unstoppable Crusaders from Canterbury, New Zealand. Who will win the 2018 Super Rugby? Can the Jaguares from Buenos Aires or Tokyo's Sunwolves win the trophy for the first time or we continue to see the New Zealand rugby union teams dominate the competition?
Super Rugby: format
The fifteen Super Rugby teams are divided geographically (Australian, New Zealand and South African conferences). In the group stages, each team plays sixteen matches, playing all the other teams in their conference twice. Then, the top team in each of the three conferences qualify for the quarterfinals, as do the next five teams with the best records (across the conferences). The winners of the QFs qualify for the Semis and then, of course, the all-important grand-final. To see who lifts the super-rugby trophy you need to be there with Super Rugby final tickets, due to be played on August 4, 2018.
So, it's time to grab those Super Rugby tickets for the new season and see some of the Southern Hemisphere's best rugby clubs battling it out at iconic venues including Eden Park in Auckland, Cape Town's Newlands Stadium, Sydney's Allianz Stadium and the Prince Chichibu Memorial Stadium, the spiritual home of Japanese rugby.
