Crusaders v Rebels clash moved to Sydney

The Crusaders will play their final Super Rugby Trans-Tasman clash in Sydney due to the continued COVID-19 lockdown in Melbourne.

Originally scheduled to be played at AAMI Park, the Rebels will play the Crusaders at Leichhardt Oval.

The current restrictions in Melbourne are unlikely to be lifted until June 10th at the earliest, so for the benefit of both sides, both New Zealand Rugby and Rugby Australia were keen to have a plan in place as soon as possible.

The Hurricanes will take on the Reds at 7.05pm Friday, the Brumbies will face the Highlanders at 9.45pm Friday, the Rebels will host the Crusaders at 4:35pm Saturday, the Blues will play the Western Force at 7.05pm Saturday and the Waratahs will face the Chiefs at 9.45pm Saturday.
