I assume they’ve done it in conjunction with Nine.
No kickoff time as yet so they could play it Sunday 5pm in Perth for a 7pm-ish kickoff AEST, or maybe the NRL will revert back to Fri/Sat.

I’ve noticed Moana Pasifika are on Shaky Financial Ground following a Refusal to pay NZ$600,000 to take a Game to Tonga for the Second Year in a Row, I believe the Super Rugby shall feature 10 Teams from 2027 or 2028.
I don’t think there’s a long future for Super Rugby in its current form. No one can compete with New Zealand rugby as it stands. Australian rugby is a dumpster fire, and everywhere else…need to keep Australia and New Zealand from claiming their up and comers as their own.
Three Australian teams beat NZ based teams this weekend.
They did? What the hell happened?
The Tahs had the bye, thus why I wasn’t paying attention.
But my point stands. Do the NZ teams rate the Aussie and other teams?
They should now. It’s been clear removing the Rebels has tightened up the player pool in Australia for the better and we are seeing the fruits of that this year. The Waratahs should be a decent shot at beating the Hurricanes this week too.
I tend to agree about Super long term, 10/11 teams is not ideal for a multi-country competition but this year at least it seems like it will be a good competition.
