Super Rugby 2015 – Super Rugby draw 2015
International rugby takes a back-seat in the first half of 2015, as the attention focuses on the Super Rugby tournament between teams from Australia (Waratahs, Reds, Brumbies, Force, and Rebels) New Zealand (Crusaders, Chiefs, Highlanders, Blues, and Hurricanes) and South Africa (Bulls, Sharks, Lions, Cheetahs, and Stormers).
The 2015 Super Rugby competition will be the sixth year of the tournament’s expanded format and will continue to grow on the back of a successful 2014 season that saw the table topping Waratahs take their first championship.
The Super Rugby finals commence from Friday June 26 and Saturday June 27 with the Grand Final to be played on July 4. The top three teams from each conference win a spot in the finals series, accompanied by the three teams with the most points tallied overall (irrespective of the conference).
