Q: The log/table/standings are not correct. How can
XXX team be higher than XXX team as they have less points?
A: The new Super Rugby format is different to the old system
used in the Super12 and Super14. The teams have been divided
into three conferences and the top team in each conference is
given one of the top three places. This means that the team
that is placed fourth might have more points but as they are
second in their conference they cannot occupy one of the top
three places. In addition, points differential is secondary
to the number of wins a team has secured. Read more on this
in the Super
Rugby Rules.
Q: Why does this/that team have an extra four points
- they have only played X matches ?
A: The new Super rugby format awards teams four points for every
bye. This is done so that teams don't feel like they are being
left behind if they have a bye and are chasing a place in the
play offs. Super Rugby
Video.
Q: Is this the official Super Rugby site ?
A: No. This is not the official Super Rugby site. SANZAR own and
operate the Super Rugby and Rugby Championship tournaments and
the operators of this site have no affiliation with SANZAR.
Q: Where can I watch Super Rugby online ?
A: Superxv.com does not stream matches online. Rugbyzone used
to stream Super Rugby online but they stopped trading at the
end of 2010. At this stage we do not know of a legal/illegal
replacement for Rugbyzone where fans can watch Super Rugby online.
If you find a way to watch it online and we have not listed
it please do let us know and we will spread the word! In the
meantime the closest we can get you to watching Super Rugby
online is through our own video highlights section which can
be found using the following link. Super
Rugby Video.
Q: Where can I watch Super Rugby on TV?
A: With the expansion from a Super 14 to a Super (15) Rugby
tournament new broadcast rights were concluded which caused
much confusion as many of the old broadcasters no longer have
the rights. For a list of the Super Rugby broadcasters use the
following link. List
of Super Rugby broadcasters.
Q: Why do you have my Super Rugby team playing another
Super Rugby team twice in the fixtures !
A: Yes your Super Rugby team does play another team twice. The
move from Super 14 Rugby to the new Super Rugby tournament with
15 teams has a new format where teams from the same country
play each other twice (home & away) AND four out of five
of the team in the other countries. To
