2022 Super Rugby Pacific Rd.4 Teams

Super rugby pacific round 4 starts this weekend in Albany when the Blues host the Highlanders in the first of two matches on Friday.

There was meant to be three matches on Saturday and one on Sunday this weekend but the Hurricanes have been hit by Covid-19 so their match against Moana Pasifika has been postponed.

New Zealand Rugby (NZR) confirmed that the Super Rugby Pacific Round 4 match at Sky Stadium in Wellington on Saturday 12 March has been postponed due to the effects of COVID-19 on the home team’s player pool.

The postponement was made on the advice of the Super Rugby Pacific Medical Advisory Group that the Hurricanes squad did not have enough players to form a matchday 23.
