Super Rugby Aotearoa kick-off times are set to change in response to New Zealand’s move to Alert Level 1.

New Zealand Rugby has confirmed there will be no limit on crowd numbers when the Highlanders play the Chiefs at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin on Saturday and when the Blues host the Hurricanes at Eden Park the following day.

NZR Head of Professional Rugby Chris Lendrum says the move to Level 1 and the return of crowds meant kick-off times would now change for the competition – 7.05pm for Saturday games and 3.35pm for Sunday games.

The Blues have kicked off ticket sales today, tweeting that fans will be able to purchase tickets to their game against the Hurricanes at Eden Park on Sunday, for just $20.

The Highlanders will play the Chiefs at 7.05pm this Saturday while the Blues will face the Hurricanes at 3.35pm on Sunday.
