The Blues, Chiefs, Crusaders, Hurricanes and Highlanders players, coaches and staff began preparations for a 10-week long New Zealand-based competition.

Dubbed Super Rugby Aotearoa, the competition kicks-off on June 13 and will feature all sides playing each other twice with no playoffs as the regular Super Rugby season has been destroyed by the COVID-19 outbreak.
