The draw for the brand new 2022 Super Rugby Pacific competition has been revised as the ongoing COVID-19 situation plays havoc with Australian and New Zealand borders. Here are the full fixtures.
Super Rugby Pacific replaces the Trans-Tasman, Super Rugby Australia and Super Rugby Aotearoa competitions which were brought in during COVID-affected seasons.

The new competition returns to the 12-team tournament with Moana Pasifika and Fijian Drua added in place of South Africa and Argentina teams. The teams will play 14 regular season matches made up of 11 round robin matches and three derby/rivalry matches.
The season’s 91 matches will be played across 18 weeks which includes the three weeks of the playoff series. The top eight teams come the end of the regular season will make that first playoff round where 1st will play 8th, 2nd will play 7th, 3rd will play 6th and 4th will play 5th. The winners will proceed to the semi finals with the winners making the Grand Final on 18th June 2022.
The competition also planned for a number of themed rounds throughout the season including:
Super Round Melbourne – round 2 will see six matches taking place in AAMI Park, Melbourne.
Women in Rugby – round 3
Culture Round – round 6
ANZAC Round – round 10
Heritage Round – round 12
However, it is now unclear when or whether those rounds will proceed as part of the updated fixture; aside from Super Round, which has been moved to Round 10 and combines with ANZAC Round.
All Super Rugby games in 2022 can be streamed in Australia via Stan Sport, while one Saturday night game a week will be broadcast on free to air on Channel 9.
