Super Rugby will return with a clash between the Highlanders and the Chiefs in Dunedin on June 13th.

The second game in the opening round of the revised Kiwi-only competition will be the Blues v Hurricanes in Auckland on Sunday, June 14th, with Beauden Barrett set to debut for the Blues against his former club.

New Zealand Rugby revealed the draw today, two months after the competition was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The New Zealand government announced a move to National Alert Level 2 this afternoon, paving the way for professional sport to resume, without fans in the stands.
