BLUES SET FOR SUPER ROUND ANZAC CLASH

The Blues will reignite their Anzac Day rivalry when they go up against the Queensland Reds during next season’s freshly announced Super Round.

The city of Christchurch and Super Rugby Pacific have joined forces to bring Super Round to Christchurch in 2026, marking the first time the event will be held in New Zealand. 

Super Round 2026 will combine world-class rugby with live music and family-friendly fun, as fans from across New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, and the Pacific come together to celebrate a historic festival of footy in Christchurch.

Set for Round 11 of the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season, from April 24 to 26, 10 teams will descend on the city across one blockbuster weekend. 

Super Round will give fans one of the first chances to experience Ōtautahi Christchurch’s brand-new One New Zealand Stadium.

On Saturday 25 April, the Blues will continue their Anzac Day match-up against the Reds, with players competing for the Sellars Dixon Medal.

“Super Round is a celebration of what makes Super Rugby Pacific special. Fans can expect fast-paced rugby, classic rivalries, and an electric stadium atmosphere as supporters across the Pacific come together to celebrate Super Round,” Super Rugby Pacific CEO Jack Mesley said.

Full fixture and event details, including information on tickets, travel and hospitality packages, will be announced in due course.
